    <p>I have been finding ways to move pictures and tables and other things from <code>Microsoft Word 2010</code> to <code>Microsoft Excel 2010</code>. What I would like to find a way to do would be to do the same thing with the <code>OMath</code> objects, or the Equations. I would like to keep the equations in their original form as much as possible, so if that means translating the <code>OMath</code> objects to a picture (<code>InlineShape</code>), then that is what I want to do.</p> <p>Here is what the equation looks like in Word, and I'd like to import that to excel using VBA: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bpjty.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>Right now, I'm only able to transfer the Range.Text representation of this object, which makes this Equation look like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/0crtE.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I have found that I can select this object and do a selection copy. Is there a way to determine the dimensions of this selection? I'd like to paste this in a particular cell which is already resized to fit the equation. I loop through the paragraphs of the Word document, with each paragraphs referred to as <code>DocPara</code> and when I come across an equation, I select it like this:</p> <pre><code>DocPara.Range.OMaths(1).Range.Select With Selection .CopyAsPicture oWB.ActiveSheet.Paste Destination:=oWB.ActiveSheet.Cells(headingCount, 3) End With </code></pre> <p>The problem with what I have above is that the picture pastes where I want it, but is bigger than the row it is sitting on and if I resize the row, the picture stretches vertically linearly with the row resize. I need to resize the row I am pasting this image to before I paste. How can I access the size of the picture I just put on the clipboard?</p> <p>Does anyone have some ideas? I really appreciate it :)</p>

    2. COThanks, I'll keep looking at that. However, I'm trying to get this done in a Macro with an equation that already exists in a word document. I want to be able to pull the equation from word, where my macro lives, and place it in excel.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
