Default How to convert Math type equation 5 to word 2007 equation

This is pure speculation, because I have neither the tools nor the
time to experiment, but you may want to follow it further:

If you indeed have MathType and not just the equation editor that
comes with Word, then it has the ability to export equations in
several flavors of TeX, including LaTeX.

Word 2007 has an "inline" text-based format for equations. This format
is not exactly like TeX, but it might be possible to create a
translator program from one to the other. Once the expressions have
been made recognizable to Word 2007, it can automatically convert the
"inline" format to display format.

I don't know whether anyone, inside or outside Microsoft, has
attempted a LaTeX-to-Word converter program. I think it would have
some commercial potential if it was thorough and reliable.
