How to pasting the text without formatting lose in MS-Word2010 equation

Question

I would like to convert the running text into Equation in MS-Word2010

For example I have already keyed the text "A² + B² = C²", and I have tried to copy and paste that text into MS-Word2010 equation editor. While doing so the superscript styles has been lose, it past like A2 + B2 = C2.

For detail I have added the screen capture here Click here

Even I have tried in VBA code, but it not worked. Here is the VBA code as I tried:

Sub Macro3()

Selection.CopyFormat
Selection.OMaths.Add Range:=Selection.Range
Selection.PasteAndFormat wdFormatOriginalFormatting
ActiveDocument.Save

End Sub

Is there is any option to convert the normal text into equation without formatting lose? Or paste the text into equation editor window without formatting loses?

Answer 1

In Word 2010 you still can use the "old" field eq. This field is useable for easy equations and one can format it easy like the surrounding text. Your example would be

{ eq a\S(2) + b\S(2) = c\S(2) }

I would use this field only for small formulas, I want to use in flow text. For ambitious, big formulas, I would use the equation editor.
