Me again. After briefly looking through some options, it looks like 
Word's equation editor (which is MathType) is the end of a wrong way 
street for equations. Applications like the free TeXaide 
<http://www.dessci.com/en/products/texaide/> can be used to convert from 
Word to LaTeX, and similarly it looks easy to go from Word to MathML, 
but nothing the other way that I could find.

So we have Word --> TeX --> MathML. Once again Word is a dead end it seems.

Hope that helps,
