Up to Converters from PC Textprocessors to LaTeX - Overview
last update: Oct 12, 1998
The MathType equation editor, the full scale, commercial version of WinWord's equation editor, is capable of converting its equations to TeX format (plain TeX, not LaTeX; conversion to Plain Tex, LaTeX, AMS-TeX, AMS-LaTeX and several flavors of MathML will be available in the 4.0 release which is currently in beta test).
MathType comes with a Word macro which will convert all the equations in a Word document into TeX.

I personally have MathType 3.1, and it IS able to convert from its own format as well as from WinWord's EquationEditor format TO TeX. The backward direction (TeX to MathType) is ONLY possible for TeX code which was produced by MathType (containing a TeX comment which allows MathType to see how it was generated). It also IS possible to convert from MathType to EquationEditor.
