Murray Sargent who was the architect of the new math functionality in Office 2007 has a blog post where

They’re bringing out the big guns

Is there any implementation on converting OMML to MathML?

Hirantha, from an earlier post by Murray:

Office 2007 ships XSLTs to convert OMML to MathML (omml2mml.xsl) and MathML to OMML (mml2omml.xsl). These XSLTs are used, for example, by Word for MathML clipboard support. They are stored in the subdirectory C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.

Hiranta,

I just finished an article about OMML (and conversion to MathML) and I think it might answer some of your questions. You can see my article here: http://idippedut.dk/post/2008/01/Do-your-math---OOXML-and-OMML.aspx

Thanks for your post, Murray.

So when do you expect to be able to "paste" an equation made in Word into Excel to get results? Thanks.

Best regards,

Douglas

It would be great to be able to copy an equation in a Word document and paste it into Excel for computation. That's certainly on my wish list :-) Maybe it'll happen some day. I'm thinking that Content MathML might be better for Excel computation than Presentation MathML. But for many formulas there are heuristics that let you transform Presentation MathML into Content MathML reliably.
