    Hello Βασίλης Νικολόπουλος

    I can see that you are having issue with Word

    This behavior with copy math type can happen when copying equations from MathType into Word.

    From your screenshot, Word appears to be pasting the MathType equation as a native Word equation format instead of keeping it as a MathType object. This means the equation may no longer open in MathType when double-selected.

    This seems related to a recent Word/MathType compatibility behavior. You can try these workarounds:

    1. In MathType, go to Preferences > Cut and Copy Preferences.
    2. Under MathML or TeX, select a MathML option.
    3. Copy the equation again and paste it into Word.
    4. If a MathType paste dialog appears, choose Create a MathType equation.

    Another workaround is to drag the equation directly from the MathType editor into Word instead of using copy/paste.

    Feel free reply back to this post if you need further assistance, I'll be happy to help.
