So you don't know what is causing it to happen?

I understand everything you said, but cannot change MathType at this time.
What I need now ifsto stop it from positioning my Mathtype equations lowered.

Nancy,

Sorry for the delay in responding. Your detailed explanation
helps.

You said the conversion process from Word to HTML "is what caused
the problems in the first place." This, unfortunately, is not
unusual. That's why with MathType version 5, we introduced a
feature called MathPage, which is what I recommended in my
initial reply. Since you are using version 4, you don't have this
feature available.

The best scenario is to upgrade to MathType 6, and re-convert
everything using the MathPage feature. Seeing as how the
conversion has already taken place, and it's understandable that
you don't want to do it again, the steps you're taking are really
your only alternative.

I will say though, that the Ctrl+S step isn't necessary. If you
open MathType from Word by clicking the blue Sigma symbol on your
toolbar, there is a link between Word and MathType. When you're
finished with the equation, simply close the MathType window and
the equation (or expression) will appear where the insertion
point (i.e., cursor) was when you opened MathType. There's
nothing wrong with pressing Ctrl+S, but it isn't necessary. If
you leave the MathType window open though, and transfer the
equations with copy and paste, this is likely to lead to
problems.

Hi Bob,

I am using Microsoft Office Word 2003 (11.8134.8132)SP2 and
MathType Version 4.0b.

I was using ctrl+S in MathType which updates the Word Document.
I am editing a Word Not Filtered HTML document.
I first wrote it in Word. This document has text, graphics and
MathType expressions.

It was converted to a Word Not Filtered HTML and now I am
replacing some broken graphics with MathType equations.
Every MathType equation shows up in the HTML document
lowered by some value of pts. Most are lowered by 12 pts.
I am clicking on the space where I want the equation to appear
and create it using MathType, While still in MathType, I then
hit
ctrl-S. (Clicking on FileUpdate does the same thing.)

The editing comment appears in a balloon. It says "Formatted:
FontDefault) Times New Roman, Subscript, Lowered by 12 pt.".
It is not an error message, it is jut the editing comment. When
I accept all changes, it disappears.

I don't have a lot of control on how to edit. Someone else
converted all my original documents. There are a lot of
problems
that occurred during the conversion. We converted three
different
ways and Word Not Filtered has the best result.

I am now cleaning up what happened during the conversion, so I
do not want to convert again. That is what caused the problems
in the first place.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Nancy
