Nancy,
I hope I can be of some help, but there are some pieces missing
from your puzzle. For example, what version of Word are you
using? What version of MathType? How are you saving the document?
(Word has 3 methods of saving a document as a web page -- "Single
File Web Page", "Web Page", and "Web Page, Filtered".) The
answers to these questions have a bearing not only on the answer
to your problem, but also whether the problem might be prevented
under a different set of circumstances.
I'm also not clear what you mean by inserting a MathType
expression by "using ctrl-s", since the Ctrl+S shortcut means to
save. Is this a customized shortcut that you created yourself?
Are you using this shortcut in MathType or in Word? How are you
inserting the equation into your document (i.e., copy & paste,
closing the MathType window, or inserting a MathType expression
that you've saved on your hard drive)? You refer to an "editing
comment". In what form does this comment appear? Is it in a
standard error dialog (i.e., a separate window that says "Error"
at the top?) Is it in the Status Bar (i.e., the bottom of the
window)? Or is it somewhere else?
Going by the information you've given in your post, I can't
reproduce the problem. I'm using Word 2003 and MathType 6. I have
2 suggestions though. First suggestion is to use the MathType
feature called "MathPage". You would do this instead of using
Word's "Save as Web Page" feature. Refer to your MathType
documentation for more information on MathPage. Second suggestion
applies regardless of whether you take my first suggestion or
not. When you're editing a web page that was created in Word,
whether it's a "Word web page" or a MathPage, it's a better idea
to edit the original document (i.e., the doc file) instead of
editing the web page. When you're through editing it, then save
it as a new web page.
Please write back with more information and we can go from there.

I am trying to edit an HTML doc. using Word.
When I insert a mathtype expression using ctrl-s my editing
comment says lowered by 12pt. Then when refreshing the HTML
doc. the expression is indeed lowered. I have to go in manually
and change the code, top:12pt to top:0pt, to get it back up.
What is causing this to happen? Mathtype claims it is not their
program, but something in the Word formatting. I have not been
able to find it.
