[Athen] Re: Error in MathType 6.8 and Word 2010?

[Sean J Keegan]

I just did another check and it appears this happens when adding an 
equation using the other input options as well (Display Equation, etc.).

So, it's not just when you insert an Inline Equation, but when you 
insert any equation with MathType 6.8 that you get the extra space after 
the equation.  If you turn on the Reveal Hidden Characters option, you 
will see it.

Take care,
Sean
