@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:

What is the point in putting an image into your InDesign file?

By @John D Herzog

Are you asking me?

Yes. You cannot edit an image in InDesign, so there is no point in using them? If all the person is wanting is to have a version of the equation in there file, why would this not be enough? Yes, you would have to get the font and color like you want it in Excel before copy/pasting it over, but it is still an option. It will come over like an image, but people put images in ther files all the time.
