MathType 3.6 update will fix Office 98 conflict; work-around offered for now

CNET staff
From Design Science: "We are working on a newer version of MathType, 3.6. This version will update the macros to be fully compatible with Office '98 for the Macintosh, as well as other minor glitches that may be incurred with Word. The upgrade will be free. In the meantime, we have posted a work around on our Web site for MathType 3.5 for Office 98 users."

The major symptom, as described on the page, is getting an error message that says: "Microsoft Visual Basic - Compile Error: Out of memory" while attempting to install the "MathType Commands for Word" into Word 98 or when loading a new or existing document into Word 98. Additionally, users have reported that "MathType Equation" no longer appears in the Object Type list in the Insert Object dialog.
