Program for writing equations / expressions

In summary, there are various computer programs available for writing and formatting equations in Word documents. These include Equation Editor 3.0 and MathType, which can be installed as a plugin, as well as MiKTeX and LaTeX which allow for the creation of high-quality graphics. The use of these programs can greatly improve the appearance of equations and make documents look more professional.

Word has equation editor 3.0. You might have to put your M$ office cd in and install eq rditor as a plugin. You can get mathtype for windows also (very similar to eq editor 3.0) for $49. Also, if you are really rambunctuous you can download miketex (LaTex for windows) and make gif images (or PDF's of an entire document). Then again, you can go to http://www.mathmlcentral.com/ and type your equation in as mathml and convert said expression to a gif.

You could just switch to Tex or Latex. Miketex (google for the URL) might be a good place to start.
