Converting a Word 2007 equation to MathML programatically

[Steffen Rieke]

Hello,

I'm using the new equation feature in Word 2007. When I select and copy such
an equation in Word, I can find its MathML representation in the clipboard.
But how can this be done programatically? I just can't find suitable methods
in the OMath object provided by the Word Object Model...

Can anyone of you help me?

Thanks in advance,
Steffen

Now that I asked here, I found a solution for myself
I just have to copy the range of the equation and Word does the rest of the
job for me. OMath.Range.Copy() puts a nice pack of MathML code into my
clipboard and I can use it for my tasks.

But hey, can this be somehow done without using the clipboard? That would be
much more comfortable, because now I must not use the clipboard when my
program runs over hundreds of equations, else the result might be impacted by
some useless junk I accidently copied into the clipboard

I don't know much about it, but for a completely different approach that may
help, see
