The final step is to run a small javascript in Indesign to restore the size of the linked equations to 100% and applies a Fit Frame To Content to each one of the equations.Įnd result: 1000 editable MT (through Edit With in the Links panel) eps equations placed in Indesign. The next step is to relink the new equations in Indesign using the links panel. This takes about 45 minutes for 1000 equations. To solve this problem I (I am not a programmer) have built a small batch of macros with AutoKotKey ( ) that opens each one of the equations and does the Save As mentioned in step 4. To solve this is necessary to do a Save As (to keep the same name) in MT to transform the equation to an eps format with display/None. And when you do that you will notice in the window title of the window where MT is running that the format of the opened equation is not eps! Although the extension (eps), the equations stored in Indesign are, in fact, wmf files). (As you will verify you can open those equation in MT. Make a backup of the folder with all the unembed equations. Create a folder and use the Links panel to unembed all the equations to that folder. Indesign names each one with names like this: ImageXXXXX.eps…. The result is an ID document with embedded MT equations. Place word file with MT equations in Indesign. I am going to explain again my workflow for math intensive documents (around 100 pages per chapter and between 1000 to 1500 or more equations per chapter): There are no wmf to eps converters in the market that you can use. Interestingly, when I tried Symbol font on EPSs that were placed & linked, it didn't display Greek letters properly, but when I unlinked one of the equations you had embedded (#34 in the ID document) and used Symbol font, everything looked OK.
Then export as EPS/none (which I see you're already using), and place into ID. Then run the Format Equations command (on the MathType tab in Word), set to format the entire document to the new equation preferences. You can do that globally in Word by changing it in 1 equation and keeping the checkbox checked to "use for new equations". Steve, after looking over the documents, it does seem like it's Symbol font that's causing the problem, and switching to Euclid Symbol font should correct the issue. Such a process would result in EPS equations that MathType could later edit if need be.) (With the MathType SDK, there's surely a way to use a script process the EPS equations from EPS/WMF to EPS/none. If that's not an issue, then there's no problem, but it's good to know. It seems like though, if you process the equations in the way you describe, they're not editable afterward in MathType. It's always helpful to hear what others have tried, what worked, and what didn't. Thanks Maria, especially the observation about not using PS Type1 fonts for math.
