Questions about the use of formulas, insertion content, etc

Hello:
I am using docs version 7.0.I encountered some problems during use and sought solutions.

① onlyoffice word Do word files support Latex/MathType formulas? how to use?

  1. Copy the formula in the locally opened Microsoft Word file to the editor, and it will automatically become an image [1], and it cannot be displayed correctly!
  2. When copying the formula from the onlyoffice word editor into Microsoft Word, you will get the result as shown in image[2]!
  3. The standard Latex formula (eg: $\sqrt[n]{x}$) will result in a dotted rectangle [3]!

Expect formulas to be non-destructively copyable and editable between Microsoft Word files and onlyoffice word editors!

② How to insert rich text content with original style (for example: from makedowan format) at the specified cursor, instead of using plugins and macros (reason: writing plugins requires a lot of code work, and the user’s learning and use costs increase).

③ Now that the A.docx file is opened, the content of the B.docx file needs to be spliced to the specified location of the A file. After querying the document, no suitable help is found. How can I achieve this purpose?

looking forward to your Reply!

Hello @uncle
As for your requests.

Copy the formula in the locally opened Microsoft Word file to the editor, and it will automatically become an image [1], and it cannot be displayed correctly!

When copying the formula from the onlyoffice word editor into Microsoft Word, you will get the result as shown in image[2]!

The standard Latex formula (eg: $\sqrt[n]{x}$) will result in a dotted rectangle [3]

As for p.1, we know about this issue (internal number - 29867). We are working on it. As for p.2-3, please provide us with examples of files where issues are reproducible.

② How to insert rich text content with original style (for example: from makedowan format) at the specified cursor, instead of using plugins and macros (reason: writing plugins requires a lot of code work, and the user’s learning and use costs increase).

We don’t have ready-to-go solution for this request, but I think you can achieve it with custom plugin where content controls are implemented.

③ Now that the A.docx file is opened, the content of the B.docx file needs to be spliced to the specified location of the A file. After querying the document, no suitable help is found. How can I achieve this purpose?

It can be implemented via content controls: ONLYOFFICE Api Documentation - Plugin examples

If I misunderstood your requests, please clarify them.

Thanks for your answer!

But I have a new problem: the time parameter(lastsave and history.changes.created) of the callback interface is 8 hours different from the time zone (GMT+8) it is in. And the time zone configuration has been corrected in the centos 8 system, but there is still a time difference, what should I do?

Please provide us with details about your installation. Did you use docker or package installation?

Sorry for the wait. The installation package method used (refer to this installation tutorial).

OS version: CentOS Linux release 8.5.2111

Hello @uncle
Sorry for the late reply. We rechecked the situation. ‘created’ and ‘lastsave’ parameters always use UTC timezone. It isn’t related to server time.

Thanks Reply!
I need to change it to the correct time zone time (GMT+8), what should I do?

Sorry, but nothing can be done here. These parameters use UTC only.
