Using LaTeX codes in Word

Hi,

So I'm trying to  get the matrices from python (pycharm) into my word document and see the latex option as the best way to do so, but converting the matrix causes word to crash nearly every time. It's nearly automatic in overleaf. Is there a better way to visualize sympy results in word documents (other than print screen)?

Thanks in advance!

Also do internet searches. I found many hits indicating there are many tools to help convert to/from Word Mac and LaTeX. I know it is not as convenient as doing it natively inside of Word, but it may be a workaround.

The difference in ribbon appears to be Windows vs Mac. Sorry. 

But it looks like the disabled "Professional" and "linear" buttons are for Latex. I don't know why they are disabled. Two common possible causes come to mind. First is the insertion point is not in an appropriate location, like an equation for this situation. The other is that the file type does not support the feature.  In that case it will say "Compatibility Mode" in the application title bar (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/my-document-title-says-compatibility-mode-e9c21150-dbd7-41ea-bb00-f86a38c6a9f1 ).

.

As an experiment, try creating a new blank document insert an equation and with the insertion point inside the equation see if those buttons are active. And if they are active, what they do.

Losing control of our machines is the cost of doing business with M$.

Back in the 80's and 90's, was the "techie" era. Users had a lot of controls they could tweak.  But in the 2000's MS is taking control away from users.   First with the locked down "ribbon" in Office and later with the design of Windows 10. Windows10 has removed huge amounts of user control from the "Control Panel" when it is replaced by the "Settings" dialogs.  Now we cannot uninstall "Internet Explorer" or "Edge". MS has them locked down as "integral" to WIndoze.  Much of the crapware that is bundled by MS with Windows 10 is locked in, they cannot be uninstalled (easily) by the user to free up space. Earlier today I was trying to delete some "PowerShell" apps that I have no use for. I got a message saying I couldn't because they were "part of Windoze"...

How do you activate the LaTeX editing mode?

has a very primitive Equation ribbon, and I can't customise it, not even to take off the space-hungry "Equation" button for inserting boilerplate equations.

Sorry, I don't have Mac so I can't say for sure. (Google is your friend).  Did you look at the second link I provided?

Sorry, when MS created the Ribbon on of the high level requirements was to LOCK IT DOWN, to reduce support calls due to "accidental" user modifications of the (great old) Menu. 

You can modify the ribbon to remove existing "Groups", but not individual commands inside the default groups.  You can add new groups with new commands you want to access faster. You can add command(s) to the QAT, to make them even easier and faster to access.

How do you activate the LaTeX editing mode? I recently signed up for a 365 subscription and am getting the feeling that I've somehow ended up with an old version that's missing some essential features. I've got Word for Mac 16.37 and it has a very primitive Equation ribbon, and I can't customise it, not even to take off the space-hungry "Equation" button for inserting boilerplate equations.
