I have written a plain text in notepad editor. This text contains some embedded mathematical formulas like \sumw_if(x_i) which refers to \sumw_if(x_i) or \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \gamma^2 which refers to \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \gamma^2etc. Now, I'm looking for a way to autocorrect all those formulas within ms-word. First I tought to select formulas one by one and then "ALT +" to get the maths notation. This method works fine but it's frustrating because I have a bunch of equations

Is there any help? Macros, MathML or other tips?

Regards

    What do you mean by "autocorrect"? Are you wanting Word to automatically correct misspellings like \usm to \sum? That's a pretty difficult problem, and bound to give you many headaches when Word misguesses. Or are you wanting to perform a global search and replace? – Teepeemm Nov 26 '16 at 01:31

If the embedded mathematical formulas were delimited with dollar signs -- e.g., $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \gamma^2$ -- MathType can do it with its Toggle TeX feature. If it's something you want to do programmatically, there's the MathType SDK.
