Q: How to make a MS Word document look like it has been typeset in LaTeX?
Lingard's template file (LaTeX.dot) can be used to produce documents that look a lot like they've been typeset in TeX/LaTeX but you'll need to install the Computer Modern TrueType versions of fonts used by LaTeX to make them available in MS Word.
Installing the fonts:
- Download the minimum set: cmr10.ttf, cmbx12.ttf and cmbx10.ttf and other suggested tt files (e.g. bakoma true type fonts) Other examples: https://guides.lib.jmu.edu/freemedia/font and https://www.1001fonts.com/ and more...
- Once downloaded on the Mac, go to the download location and open the files by double-clicking. This starts Font Book which opens the tt (TrueType) font file. Font Book is included with OS/X. Basic instructions on using Font Book from Apple.
- Font Book provides a small display of the font and gives an option to "Install Font" via the button at bottom right of the window.
- Click Install Font; Font Book then checks/validates the font. You might need to review warnings, all trivial as far as I make it, after which the font is now available for Mac applications to use.
- The next time you open MS Word it will spend 30s or so updating its font listing.

Mac instructions only: You add Lindgard's LaTeX.dot file to the appropriate templates folder:
MS Word template location. From the Finder menu; Finder>Go>Go to Folder...
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My TemplatesThen create a new MS Word document based on the template via:
- From the MS Word menu bar: File > New from Template...
- The MS Word "Document Gallery" window opens...
- Select "My Templates" in the navigation pane...
- Select the template named "LaTeX"
Word Document Gallery: New from Template. Chose LaTeX |
Your new document is now using Lindgard's stylesheet in MS Word, which should also be using the bakoma TrueType fonts. The screen and output should now mimic a LaTeX typeset document very closely.
