Convert MS Word Equation Editor to LaTeX

In summary, you can convert MS word files to latex using a website or program called InftyReader. However, the most efficient way to type equations is with LaTeX. Additionally, you should check out Big Daddy Kane, BDP (Boogie Down Productions), and Long Live the Kane.

I wrote up some proofs in MS word using eqn. editor. Is there a way to conver that to tex so I can post it here?

I don't want to post the word file using a flie share service because the link expires after about a month.

[tex]\LaTeX[/tex] typesets equations so much more beautifully than Word's Equation Editor. ...and for some, [tex]\LaTeX[/tex] is much faster when composing and editing. [Suppose later, you wish to use a [tex]\phi[/tex] instead of a [tex]\theta[/tex] everywhere in [say] a twenty page document. This is easily changed in [tex]\LaTeX[/tex].]

I am listening to My Melody right now. Classic song, but pretty complex lyric and rhyme structure (took me quite a while to understand the entire song and some of the clever subtleties).

So you are listening to some real old school stuff now Cyrus? Have you checked out Big Daddy Kane, and BDP (Boogie Down Productions)? If not, you have to give them a listen; check out Long Live the Kane (or It's a Big Daddy Thing), and, if you can find it, the outstanding album Criminal Minded.

edit... How long is your proof? If it is not too long I could probably type it up real quick in latex.

By the way, if you are just so fond the Equation Editor interface,
you can try the free http://www.dessci.com/en/products/texaide/ to produce [tex]\LaTeX[/tex]. You might also want to look into http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/trial.asp?src=mtlogo

However, for me, in my experience, nothing is as fast and efficient as typing in [or copy-pasting] the [tex]\LaTeX[/tex]. Menu-based point-and-click is too slow, except possibly for very intrincate complex expressions, which rarely occur for me.

[Of course, the most natural interface is handwriting... which is coming soon
