Use openoffice instead. It's free and open source. It has built in mathematical layout tools to do things like latex. Here is a screenshot

Or if your stubborn and want to use Word then use latex.

??if you have access to a Unix machine, you can make higher-resolution versions of LaTeX graphics that will look better printed
The graphics generated by this site's LaTeX feature, for example, are low-resolution and would not look good printed on a page. If you actually run LaTeX on your own machine, you can specify any resolution you'd like for your images, and thus make them appear nice and smooth on the page.Originally posted by gnome

The best way to format a technical paper in Microsoft Word is to use the built-in styles and headings feature. This allows for consistency throughout the document and makes it easier to create a table of contents. It is also important to use a professional font and to keep the formatting simple and clean.
A technical paper should follow a standard structure, including an introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. It is also important to include figures, tables, and references in the appropriate places within the document. It can be helpful to use the "Outline" view in Word to organize and structure your paper.
To insert equations and symbols in a technical paper, you can use the "Equation" tool in Word. This allows you to create and edit complex equations using a visual editor. You can also insert symbols by going to the "Insert" tab and selecting "Symbol." It is important to double check that all equations and symbols are correctly formatted before submitting your paper.
Yes, you can collaborate with others on a technical paper in Word by using the "Track Changes" feature. This allows you to make edits and comments that can be seen by others, making it easier to work together and make revisions. It is important to communicate with your collaborators and make sure that everyone is using the same version of the document.
To properly cite sources in a technical paper, you can use the "References" tab in Word. This allows you to add in-text citations and create a bibliography or works cited page at the end of your paper. It is important to follow a specific citation style, such as APA or MLA, and to double check that all sources are properly cited and formatted.
