I've been using TeX (actual TeX, not LaTeX) since 1992 and MS Word for the Mac since around that same time period and I've never seen that capability in Word... Are you sure you aren't just seeing MathType's conversion of the *equations* to TeX code? There's a huge difference in just the equations in TeX and the entire document.

You are of course correct.

That said, there are conversion tools, to include:

 - rtf2latex --- free, opensource
 - tex2word --- commercial, but there is a demonstration copy
