My thanks to the two or three people who pointed out to me the solution to 
my problem. I confess, I didn't RTFM. I'm not a MathType user, but I do 
have to install it (and lots of other software) on other machines in my 
department, which does make it difficult to be fully aware of the features 
of the programs I don't use.

By the way, I recently spent an hour looking at the Mac version of 
FrameMaker. Among its many other features, it includes a MathType- or 
Expressionist-like equation editor. I don't know how complete it is, but 
people might want to take a look at it.
