I just tried something and it works for most fraction equations. I used Find & Change and selected GREP. I searched for ~a (that's what I got when I copied the imported graphic with my text tool) and changed Advanced Character Format – Baseline Shift to -0p9. That works if you are using 10pt type with auto leading. I sometimes have to open up the leading to 18pts. That's probably the best option. Then I would fix any Arithmetic long division or multiplication graphics manually. Considering there are many more fractions in this book, this method will save time. If anyone finds a better way, let me know. I'm subscribed to this topic. Thanks! :)
I am so happy I found this site! Thank you goes to collywolly for putting your script here! I just copied it and tried it out and it's going to save me a lot of trouble! We produce testprep books and the math section has lots of MathType equations embedded throughout the Word doc. I import the file into Adobe InDesign CS(don't remember which version but it's a book we update every year) now we have Adobe InDesign CS6. When I do that the equations become Windows metafiles. I unembed them all creating .EPS files that I store in a folder. What we have found is that sometimes type disappears from the equations and there's no rhyme or reason for it happening. The first PDF file I send to editorial looks good, but when I make their corrections to text and create a NEW pdf file, the people in editorial find missing text and wonder why since the text was there in the first pdf! My research points to METAFILES. I didn't want to go back to importing each one individually, so I decided to search for a script. This script works wonderfully (except the equations are not centered vertically on the line so I'll be looking for a solution for that problem) and I wanted to let anyone who lands on this page know that it's a good script! It will save me a lot of time. If anyone knows how to get inline graphics to center vertically on a text line or have a script that can select all objects and apply an object style (the select objects script that came with ID doesn't select the imported equations for some reason) let me know. Thanks!
