Word is hostile towards anything pasted from non-Microsoft programs.
It mangles MacDraw horribly. The Expressionist docs state flatly that
Word is hostile towards it.

Anyway, MathType seems to do a better job than Expressionist for the
times I've seen people use it for creating professional output. But
seriously, in all honesty, TeX blows them both away as far as
professional output quality goes. I forget about Expressionist, but
MathType allows you to output TeX input code. It is very interesting to
print out the exact same formula generated from the exact same program;
print one from within MathType, then export the same file to TeX.
Everybody, EVERYBODY, from rank laypeople to heavy-duty math theorists
instantly select the TeX output as superior.

Generated by the SAME PROGRAM, folks.

  Oh well...
