In my experience using Mathtype to connect various versions of Word with various DTP apps (including Frame), the only reliable way to reproduce equations is to paste them into Illustrator, fix the problems, export each equation as EPS (or AI), and import each equation into the DTP app.

This is slow and painful, but OLE is worse.

HI All,

We have math equations that we get from the engineers in MS Word docsuments.

We usually need to copy these equations into our unstructured FM files for the customer.

We're currently on Win7 OS and FM10.

-When we copy equations from Word docs (that were created in Word 2003, then saved as Word 2010), into FM (Special Paste>Embedded Object), then all is fine and you can double click the equation, open it and continue to edit as a Word object if needed. I'm assuming these equations were written using Math Type or Equation Editor 3.0

-However, when we import equations from Word files originally created in Word 2010 (it seems Word has its own equation editor), then when importing (Special Paste>Embeded Document Word Microsoft Object ) into FM, then we get loads of question marks and H's as opposed to the equation. If we double click on the equation, it opens properly in Word 2010. Saving the page as PDF shows only the question marks.

Using any of the other special paste options turns the equation into an image.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the equation to show properly in FM?

Thanks,

Orly.
