Are you sure the error says it cannot import the graphic? Maybe the error
says it cannot *display* the graphic?

EPS files need a preview in order to display in Frame. Even so, an EPS file
saved without a preview will print to a Postscript printer or a PDF.

Try going back to Mathtype, save your equation to an EPS file, and make sure
you include a TIFF preview. In Mathtype 4, this is Save As Type:
Encapsulated Postscript/TIFF. Then go to Frame and use File > Import File.

I would avoid OLE.
