I work on Ubuntu 13.10 and compose my documents using either LyX or TeXStudio. Every now and than I am forced to use MS Office (2010) then when running a Windows VirtualBox I use EqualX as formula editor together with the IguanaTex add-in for PowerPoint. Gives me beautifully typeset equations in ppt.
I did not manage to install either MikTeX or TeX-live in POL (stops without notice or a sad smiley). I did manage to install TeX-live directly in wine (takes 4 hours) and it works (wine cmd pdflatex some.tex gives some.pdf).
What must I do to make the LaTeX tools visible from my POL virtual drive for Office?
Can I set the PATH env-var permanently? Do I have to edit the registry?, How?
(Please do not tell me that Office has a native equation editor because when you have LaTeX docs with a lot of eqns you do not want to redo them in Office at the cost of a physiotherapist treating you for RSI and get worse typesetting too)
Thanks, jw
