Hello Adobe Support,
I am experiencing a serious issue when importing a Microsoft Word document into the latest version of Adobe InDesign.
Environment

• Microsoft Word 2021
• Latest version of Adobe InDesign
• Document type: Doctoral dissertation

• Approximately 410 equations and mathematical symbols throughout the document
  Issue
  The Word document contains equations created with the built-in Microsoft Equation Editor (OMML equations, not legacy Equation 3.0 objects).
  When I place the DOCX file into InDesign, all equations disappear completely.
  As a workaround, I saved the document as RTF and then imported it into InDesign. In this case the equations appear, but they are converted into inline PNG graphics.
  The imported equation graphics have:

• Actual PPI: 96

• Effective PPI: 96
  These PNG files appear as embedded inline objects in the text flow. The Links panel shows approximately 410 PNG graphics, corresponding to the equations and mathematical symbols in the original Word document.
  Expected Behaviour
  InDesign should preserve Office Math (OMML) equations as vector-based content or import them at print-quality resolution suitable for professional publishing and academic dissertations.
  Actual Behaviour
  All equations are converted into low-resolution PNG images (96 ppi), which are not suitable for high-quality print production.
  Additional Information
  The equations are genuine Word equations. If an equation is copied from Word and pasted into a text editor such as Notepad, the linear equation syntax is available, for example:
  f(ret,κ)=m(r,κ)/m_0
  This suggests that the mathematical content remains available in the document, but the InDesign import process rasterizes it into low-resolution bitmap graphics.
  Could you please advise whether:

1. There is a way to preserve Word equations as vector content during import.
2. There is a setting that prevents equations from being converted to 96 ppi PNG images.
3. Adobe is aware of this limitation with OMML equation import and whether a fix or alternative workflow exists. Thank you for your assistance.
