Hi.. i hv a site where students ask their maths questions.
There is a textbox to do it. Now i want that my users should b able to justcopy equations from sample paper they already have in msword. Using copy by ctrl+c just copies text but not the formulas. How can i solve this problem? How can i save equation in database and later display on webpages. ?? thank you in advance

You probably want to do some research on "MathType" and "LaTeX" to see if there is some plain text format.
