You can export sheets in RTF format, which can be used as doc in
Word. Or you export as HTML, which gives you the graphics (which
which also represent the Maple outputs) to be imported as such.

I've never found an occasion for which doing so was either necessary
or desirable.

Dear Walter,
I HAVE such an occasion? I'm looking for an ANSWER not for the information,
that someone doesn't have this problem. :-)

Yours sincerely

Bert

I would save the Maple formula or plot as a graphic file (say GIF),
then put that in the Powerpoint or Word (or, more likely, non-Microsoft
applications instead).

Your question emphasized "YOU", how would "YOU" do such-and-such .
And my answer to how would "YOU" do this is that I *wouldn't* do this.
That *is* the "ANSWER" to the question you asked.

Q: "Doctor, my arm hurts when when I twist it around like this!?"
A: "Well, don't do that then!"


Possibly your -intended- question was along the lines of,
"What are methods that people have successfully used to import
maple formulas, plots or text in Powerpoint or Word" ?

With Windows XP Pro, Maple 8:

A) In Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 (Windows XP Pro),

Copy and Paste separately the instructions (Maple notations in red
become black!), the results (equations in blue which are transformed to
figures, in blue)) and the figures. You may have to resize horizontally
the figures.

B) In Microsoft Office Word 2003 (Windows XP Pro),

B1) Copy all the instructions, results and figures:
by "marking" the blocs with the mouse by positionning the arrow at the
bottom of the first long [ (left square braket), then by pressing the
left bouton, move the mouse (the arrow) to the bottom of the last blocs
(= to the bottom of the last left square braket [ ), the display
becomes, say, blue, then press the right mouse button and chose Copy.
Maple instructions and texts (comment) can be edited but not so easily
the image-equations!

B2) To paste, in WinWord already open, press the right mouse button,
then click Paste.

You may have to resize the figures and the equations!

The equations are now transformed to images! A long equation, say more
than 3 or 4 lines, is transformed to more than one image! You may have
to adjust horizontally the length of the image-equation just before the
last one in order to push the last image-equation really at the end of
the equation!

Can you import ps or pdf files into Powerpoint or Word, perhaps as
figures? If so, you can print the worksheet to a ps file, then (using
gsview---free for downloading from the Ghostscript website) convert
the ps file to pdf. Of course, if you can import the ps file directly
you can skip this last step.
