Equation+Editor

To use Equation Editor on the newest version of Microsoft Word (These are the directions that work on my computer): 


 * Click where you want to insert the equation in Word document
 * On the **Insert** menu, click **Object**, and then highlight **Microsoft Equation** click OK. Equation Editor should pop up.
 * Build the equation by selecting symbols from the Equation toolbar and by typing variables and numbers. From the top row of the Equation toolbar, you can choose from more than 150 mathematical symbols. From the bottom row, you can choose from a variety of templates or frameworks that contain symbols such as fractions, integrals, and summations. If you need help, click Equation Editor Help Topics on the Help menu.
 * To return to Microsoft Word, click the Word document.

If the above directions do not work try these steps: If Microsoft Equation Editor is not available, you may need to install it. If you need help, click Equation Editor Help Topics on the Help menu.

 * On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
