Dear Friends, 
some time ago someone write this message: 

      >>>>> I've just switch to XP and found that the equation created with
      MathType and then inserted in PageMaker are not printed correctly. They're
      shown in right position on the screen while the printed file come out
      with equation in completely wrong position... at the moment my only solution
      is swichting back to WinMe...
      <<<<<<
      I have the same problem but i haven't read nothing about solution or patch
      .
      I think that the problem is in the Aoobe XP PS Driver because if i use
      Windows 98 or Windows ME all works fine.
      And all works even i i use Xpress or other DTP product.
      I have a lot of book maded with old Windows 98 and PM6.5 and MT for a
      total of 5000 pages and i would like not to do the sme job again with
      another product.
      Could someone help me ???
      Thanks
      Stefano

Mike, think that if a software have a feature is because you CAN use it !!!! InDesign don't have Copy/paste feature and so you cannot use it, but PM have !!!! 
I think that cut/copy/paste feature is not so hard to implement and make it working, in fact other DTP program like Quark XPress use it in a very confortable way. 
I would like to use cut and paste because i have more than 700 equations and i cannot "export" and "import" this very large number of equations. don't think that this "missing" PM feature is a good advertising for Adobe !!!! And if you consider that this feature is working well with PM + Windows 98 !!!!

Stefano,

What version of InDesign are you using? Last time I looked, the cut,
copy, paste, paste into, paste in place features are all found under
the Edit menu and still use the standardized shortcut keys. Same goes
for PageMaker.

What Mike is saying is to export the equations from MathType as EPS
and then import them (the EPS files) into PM (or InDesign or what ever
DTP app that you are using). If you do a simple copy & paste then
depending upon your platform, the equations will come across as MML
(Math Markup Language) text strings or a metafile.
