yesint, I am closing this bug because it has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Oneiric Ocelot.
This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

When the .doc file containing MathType 5 formulas is opened in OO, all symbols of integrals, derivatives, sums etc. are missed or substituted by funny characters. As a result the formulas are messed up completely. The formulas are not converted to OO Math, but shown as figures (not editable) even if "convert math from/to MathType" option is selected. This bug seems to be ubuntu-specific. Original bug sent to OO team was not reproduced (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg396313.html). However, it was confirmed in Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10alpha, but not in Mandriva Spring (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872833). The bug exists even when the deb package provided on the OO.o website is used instead of the ubuntu repos version. This bug is really critical for people, who exchange documents with formulas with collaborators using MSWord+MathType. The test file can be found in original bug report (http://www.mail- archive.com/[email protected]/msg396313.html).
