I have some ODF files with math formulas and I need to render them...or else the boss will fire me (lol).

Please, is there any way to do this ? or they can only be rendered in OpenOffice ?

A: 

Here is a crude way to do it http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/12/convert-doc-xls-ppt-rtf-pdf-to-html.html

Hope its of some help.

cheers

Clever indeed, but talking about .odf here not .pdf....

+1  A: 

Open the File in OpenOffice.org (download at http://www.openoffice.org if needed) and use "Save As..." and select HTML as the output format. The Formulas will be rendered to images which are referenced in the resulting HTML.

There is currently no other solution that will render the formulas appropriately.

"Save as..." does not give this option. Formats supported are .sxm, .smf, .mml.

I was assuming that the document in question is a Text document (.odt). When you click on Save As... the format drop-down will contain an entry named "HTML Document (OpenOffice.org Writer) (html)"

You might need to make sure that teh formula editor is not activated, maybe it tries to save a single formula instead of the entire document. This doesn't happen in my version though.
