The metafile representations of OOoMaths objects seems to be using the
StarSymbol font for symbols (e.g. greek). This font doesn't exist anywhere but
OOo itself is presumably replacing it with something else, since the formulas
display OK in OOo. However, MS-Word doesn't know to do this, so equations cannot
be passed to MS-Office docuements. 

You can verify this by copying a OOoMaths object (containing symbols) into
OOoDraw, "Break" the object and examine the font for each of the symbols.

The solution would be to change the hard-coded references to StarSymbol (I not
saying this is trivial mind). Right now, it's all but impossible to get
equations between OOo and Word. Even MathType objects don't work at first,
because the OLE metafile representation itself is broken (you need to open the
object with Mathtype, to force a regeneration of the metadata).
