@Claire36486004gk4w It does say on MathType website: MathType integrates seamlessly with InDesign, allowing you to insert equations directly into your documents and apply formatting options such as font size, color, and alignment. If you work in education sector, you could be entitled to a 20% discount.

But, have you thought of using Microsoft Excel? If you're already know and work with Excel formulas, this approach would requires no learning curve. And I do know you can easily import an Excel document into InDesign! 

There are a couple of past posts with regards to MathType:

@Robert at ID-Tasker If the user knows how to use Microsoft Excel using formulas, they can either import or even place the spreadsheet into Excel.
