Atul META files have a way of changing depending on what platform they are ported to. And in Word you should watch for Metafiles pasted near the borders; they have a tendency to get corrupted for lack of a better term.

I was delighted to find the metafile format (Mathematica 4.0, Word > 97) works fine on my PC, but when I share it with others by either email or > diskette, it is a garbled mess.

First No. I don't know any MathReader intolerant people. The second : Options: You should save the file as HTML from Mathematica. Word 97 should open up HTML files. Better yet they can use a browswer. Save your selection as a bitmap and paste into Word. Additionally, Word uses a rudementary version of MathType equation editor. If you wish to stick to Word 97 then look into Word's Equation Editor importing tex. > > A.
