Writing equations You can type equations into MicrosoftWord and Excel using Equation Editor which comes free with the products. It’s recommended for Grades 4 and up; Equation Editor allows you to build equations by picking symbols from a toolbar, as well as by typing numbers and variables. The Equation Editor Toolbar: ![]() The top row of the Equation Editor toolbar has buttons for inserting more than 150 mathematical symbols. The bottom row of the Equation Editor toolbar has buttons for inserting templates (also called frameworks) that contain such symbols as fractions, radicals, summations, integrals, products, matrices, and various fences, or matching pairs of symbols, such as brackets and braces. Many templates contain slots, which are spaces for you to type text and insert symbols. About 120 available templates are grouped on palettes. You can nest templates, which means you can insert templates in the slots of other templates, to build complex hierarchical formulas.
