How to past the text without formatting loss in MathType editor

Question

I would like to convert the 'text to MathType' in word document.

For example I have already keyed the text "A² + B² = C²", instead of keyed in MathType editor. So I have tried to copy and paste that text into MathType editor, while doing so the superscript's style is lose in that content, i.e. it past like A2 + B2 = C2.

Is there is any option to convert the text into MathType without formatting lose? Or paste the text into MathType Editor Window without formatting lose?

Answer 1

I have finally got the answer from Design Science, it is bug in older version5.2 MathType editor. However they said it has been fixed in new version MathType editor, but I have to test it!

Answer 2

It's important to know 1) how did you "key the text..." (i.e., in Word's equation editor, or just using styled text in Word), and 2) are you using Windows or Mac?
