                        Pasting into Word: Equation pastes at the beginning of the paragraph, rather than at the insertion point

                        Reading time: 1min

                        Applicability

                        The information on this page applies to:
                        MathType for Windows
                        Microsoft Word for Windows

                         

                         

                        Issue

                        You have MathType open as a separate application and are pasting equations into Word rather than using the MathType commands for that. You're surprised to see when you paste an equation at the end of a sentence, and the equation doesn't paste there; it pastes at the beginning of the paragraph — similar to what you see in this animation:

                        Reason

                        Word has some settings that control where things appear after they're pasted into the document. The name of the setting implies it only applies to pictures, but it controls the location of any non-text items you paste into Word.

                        Solution

                        In Word, click the File tab, then Options. Navigate to this location in Options:

                        Notice the setting here is "Square". Change it to "In line with text".
