Retrieve equation objects from plain text

gerasimosRagkavanis · #1 01-24-2019, 09:57 AM

Hello, I am new in VMA programming so I am facing a problem. I have received some huge files that contain a lot of equations but what happens is that there was the original one, then saved as pdf and then from pdf editor I received the word version. So as you can understand the equations now are plain text because when I highlight all the equation objects with VMA for a file i just created and inserted equations it works. My script highlights every equation but when I do it with one of the document I have received even though I can see some equations when I run the same script nothing is highlighted. I would really appreciate any help any if what I am trying to do is even possible.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with VMA - do you mean VBA?

You will need to supply a sample doc and the code you are using which fails. And describe what exactly you want to do with these converted equations.

So to be more specific I want to retrieve the equation format from a word document that has plain text. I am sorry in my last post I said VMA when I wanted to say VBA. I received a document that has Fc (the c is a subscript) so in the original word document it was an equation. But in the file I received it has the same format but it is not an actual equation object. So do you know if there is any way to retrieve those objects?
I am using this script to highlight all the equations( the script is working fine if there is a proper equation object)

Code:

Sub SelectAllEquations()
Dim xMath As OMath
Dim I As Integer
With ActiveDocument
    .DeleteAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
    For I = 1 To .OMaths.Count
        Set xMath = .OMaths.Item(I)
        xMath.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Editors.Add wdEditorEveryone
    Next
    .SelectAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
    .DeleteAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
End With
End Sub
