Microsoft Word can help you write everything from books to academic papers. Included in Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010 is a powerful equation editor that can insert formulas and mathematical symbols into Word documents. Whether you want to show a stacked fraction -- a traditional division symbol with one number above the other -- or a linear fraction with a common slash "/" symbol, the equation editor can handle it all.
