mathpaste

ChatGPT equations used to paste into Word as real math. Now you just get raw LaTeX like \frac{dv}{dt}. mathpaste fixes that automatically at the clipboard: copy as normal, paste a real equation.

Install

git clone https://github.com/eliasmocik/mathpaste.git
cd mathpaste
./setup

Needs macOS, Python 3.9+, and Word for Mac. Runs as a small background agent that starts at login. Remove it with ./setup --uninstall.

Use

1. Select math anywhere.
2. Cmd+C.
3. Paste into Word.

It converts in the background, so give it a beat between copy and paste. Normal copies are untouched. Mixed prose + equations keep their formatting.

Where it works

• Word for Mac => native equation.
• Apple Mail, rich web editors => works.
• Google Docs => no (can't import MathML).
