Is it possible to use command copy as latex equations directly from mathematica file and paste in Word equation editor 2007/2010. Not to save like .pdf or .jpg!
Alternative for web2tex or just this?
Regards!

For copy/pasting mathematics between MS Word and Mathematica, the preferred format is MathML. Since version 6 (as stated here), this is meant to be automatic. Unfortunately, as I don't have MS Office, I can't test this.
Wolfram Research also provides a web service for converting expressions to and from MathML.
A solution is posted on the wolfram website To quote:
A brief example is given to demonstrate how to convert a Mathematica notebook to a Microsoft Word document retaining the figures and equations from the notebook. The conversions uses the freeware application latex2rtf. The equations are converted to clickable fields which open in the Word Equation Editor window.
Basically you save your notebook as tex, open an editor, and change all equation
to eqnarray
and then run latex2rtf <filename>.tex
A second solution, although not free one, is to use math type. It uses tex like syntax, so copy an equation (right click-> copy as latex) and paste it in the math type equation editor for word.
Another cludgy approach I have used with tolerable success is to render the expression as a graphic and then to cut and paste it as a Windows Metafile. Yes, I know, it's horrible, but it isn't as horrible as turning the expression into a bitmap - the Metafile ought to retain vector and font information so it will render tidily at different resolutions.
Something like
Graphics[Text[]]
will pop your expression into the output cell, from which you can use the menu option to copy as a metafile

You can do this using http://formulasheet.com. The site has a built-in equation editor which includes a 'Copy to Word' button. Also, if you sign up, you can upload a .tex file containing LaTeX formulas and it will extract a list of formulas, from which you can press the 'Copy to Word' button and avoid ever using MS Word's equation editor. The 'Copy to Word' functionality is provided by using MathML, as mentioned above.
