Default Editing equation in rtf doc: "Word equation too large to convert"

I have an academic paper that I have written and need to share with my
co-authors who use MS Word. I converted it from latex to rtf format. I can
open the document in word 2007 and edit it, however, whenever I try to edit
an equation I get a dialogue box with the error message €śWord equation too
large to convert". The contents of the equation get erased and I have close
the equation editor and press Crtl-z to get the contents of the equation
back. The problem occurs even with very simple equations, such as the
fraction 1/2. I have searched the web and others seem to have had the same
problem. I haven't found a solution or work-around.

Is there a way to get round this problem? The only solution I have at the
moment is to delete the equations, then manually enter them again using the
word equation editor.
