   • Click “Replace and Save.”
4. Next,  replace the end code.
   • In “search for” type in: \)
   • In “replace with” type in:[/latex]
   • You should select “previewed replacements” to make sure there are not any additional spaces accidentally.
   • Next click “Replace and Save.”
5. Check a chapter to make sure the math is rendering properly.
6. Then remove the [latexpage] from the beginning of each chapter.
   • In “search for” type in: [latexpage]
