Marcel -

My approach would be as follows:

(1) isolate each desired equation in its own .tex file

(2) create a single latex document which \inputs the
	.tex files, with each equation on a separate
	page and generate .ps copy of the equations
	Or, make one "generic" master latex document and
	just interchange the \input'ted equation files.

(3) use ghostscript to export the individual pages
	and then use pstoeps to get .eps graphics,
	which coreldraw will then allow you to import
	and crop as desired to expose only the formula.

HINT:  If you are crafty, you can tweak the paper size
	to give you the appropriate layout of the equations
	and final "page" size without requiring cropping in
	coreldraw.  That is, if you want the final equations
	to be 3cm by 8cm with 15mm side and 5mm top and bottom
	margins, use the geometry package to set the
	appropriate values for paper size and margins and run
	with it.

HTH,

Charley
