Thank you. As far as I know, cut (from Mma) and paste (into Word) is the only way. Which isn't as bad as it sounds. Mathematica graphics can be converted to bitmaps and imported by the Draw mini-app that comes with Word for Windows (I've done this in both color and B&W, with excellent results), and tables of numbers can (after appropriate formatting within Mma) go to either Excel (which has OLE capability) or MS Graph (another Word mini-app). The biggest problem is equations. If MathType accepts Tex input (which I think it does, but I don't use the program), then Mathematica can be told to produce Tex and everything is fine (assuming you can get MathType into Word documents). If not, I'm stumped. Hope this helps. -- Katherine (Williams) Derbyshire kewms at kew.com "He wants to dream like a young man With the wisdom of an old man He wants his home and security He wants to live like a sailor at sea. . ." - Bob Seger
