Here's a less than efficient work-around. After saving as HTML, replace the images with bitmaps or gifs made from the bitmaps. To do this, you have to select each equation individually and use Save Selection As...Bitmap in the Edit menu. I was complaining in another thread that these were a bit jagged, since formulae are rendered in 72 dpi screen resolution, but P. Hinton of WRI was kind enough to point out that I could increase the screen resolution by making the formula larger before saving as a bitmap, shrinking down in the final document (thanks, as I didn't know that). You can then open the html index file and replace the images with the bitmaps (you don't need an html editor, and in fact the Word Insert Picture As command works well). Alternatively, you can open the bitmaps in PhotoEditor or Paint and save them as gifs with the original names used in your html index document and replace the files in the Images folder. I know it's awkward, but you do get equations in a single line.
