Hi Sarah

I believe that Mathtype supports conversion either into MathML, which 
you can then read with Mathplayer, or LaTeX, which can then be read 
directly.  Its some time since I used mathtype so I can't tell you how 
to actually perform the conversions, maybe you'll have to convert to 
Microsoft Word first.
