Equations in Word 2008 convert to pictures

I have not seen any recent activity on this topic, and I tried to post
at Mactopia. Apparently that is not the best way to join the
discussion.
What is the status of the problem with equations from Equation Editor
or MathType? My dissertation is full of equations, and every time I
open up to edit, some random fraction of the equations have turned to
pictures, become fuzzy, and can't be edited. This would only be
irritating if that were the only issue, but if I save with equations
that have been turned into pictures, then inevitable the next time I
open the document some of them are white boxes with a red X in them.
This is totally unacceptable because it means that every time I open
my document, I need to search through 140 pages to find all the
"stoned" equations and reenter them. Pasting from an older version is
unreliable. This is not an enhancement to productivity, and I never
had this problem in previous versions of Word; it hardly constitutes
an upgrade.
Surely this should have been fixed by now? I have seen posts on this
issue dating from a year ago, and there have been multiple updates to
Word 2008, at least two since Mac OS 10.6 rolled out. What's going on
with this? I am not at all interested in using Word for Windows as I
would lose too much in terms of cut-and-paste ability, and I would
have to put up with the @#$ ribbon.
