I make an illustration (drawing / ilus) for every formula (with lines instead of underlines) and place this illustration in the text, meaning: I paste the drawing into text so that I don't have to worry about moving it with the text (when adding extra lines).

So far, so good.

Now there was something absolutely wrong with the text after an inserting (paste) from text from M$ Word (text styles!).
Lines were only at the top and at the bottom of the page, the rest of the page is empty. Very neat if you want this, but I didn't.

I couldn't see what the problem was, so I did a 'Send text to editor'...
I found the problem and revert to PGS after closing the hotlinked article.
Yes, this problem is gone.

But after some inspection of my document I missed something else...
All my carefully crafted formulas (paste in text!)are gone!

Now I had my thoughts about not being able to edit a paste (illustration) in text, except for deleting, but I thought: well what can go wrong. Now this!

I fortunately have made a PDF before this disaster, so I can recreate this (with a lot of work).
When I copy text from the PDF the size of the text is the same as in my text, but all the superscripts and the subscripts are at a smaller size, and lots of spaces are lost.

Deron is there a way, in an update, to make the text (illustration into text paste) to be editable (if it is not already widowed), and that the 'Send text to editor' isn't that destructible.
I think of something like: the 'illustration in text paste' could be edit like any other illustration. Sort of external?

I made a bug report (bug #241).
