Equation Editor under Microsoft Office 2007
Developer: Microsoft
Latest release: 2007
OS: Microsoft Windows
License: Proprietary EULA

Equation Editor is a legacy formula editor developed by Design Science that allows users to construct math and science equations in a WYSIWYG environment. It is included in most word processors (e.g. Microsoft Word), presentation programs (e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint), and many other products. Equation Editor is a simplified version of Design Science MathType.

Equation Editor did not significantly change from 1991 to 2007. For Microsoft Office 2007, the old Equation Editor is included as is, however Office 2007 applications include a reengineered equation editor with support for a TeX-like linear input/edit language in addition to its WYSIWYG interface. [1] The revised equation editor is built into the document-editing part of the interface rather than being operated through a separate dialog and being treated as an OLE object in the document. Unicode Plain Text Encoding of Mathematics is also supported(Microsoft manual: [1]). The equation editor uses Office Math Markup Language (OMML) which is a mathematical markup language embedded in WordProcessingML, with intrinsic support for including word processing markup like revision markings, footnotes, comments, images and elaborate formatting and styles. The format is different from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) MathML recommendation, but is partially compatible through relatively simple XSL Transformations. Word 2007 has support for converting equations to/from MathML via the clipboard. [2] [3] Copied equations are in (Presentation) MathML format, so they can be pasted into other programs that understand this XML markup, such as Mathematica. Conversely, MathML can also be pasted into a Word document and it will be recognized as an equation and displayed properly (as long as it does not contain MathML symbolic character entities such as &PlusMInus; — use numeric entities instead). The transformations that allow copying/pasting equations via MathML are driven by two XSL stylesheets (omml2mml.xsl and mml2omml.xsl). These scripts can be used outside of Word by reading or manipulating DOCX XML files directly. Equation number management is also possible using macros.

Method and apparatus for an equation editor - Patent 5251292 (3972 words)
An "equation editor" is a method implemented in software that is used to create and edit mathematical equations and which may be a component of a wordprocessor.
However, prior art equation editors provide neither an editing methodology which allows the efficiency and flexibility of the present invention in creating textual descriptions of equations nor a window in the same display interface to display the final printed form of the equation at the same time as its textual description is being edited.
In the preferred embodiment, the equation editor grammar is composed of the ASCII keyboard characters, the extended characters in Table 1, and the keywords representing commands and symbols shown in Table 2.
Word XP/X: Working with the Equation Editor, UWEC (575 words)
The Equation Editor includes a toolbar that has many varieties of math symbols (e.g., greater than or less than sign, infinity, and equal sign) and templates (e.g., fractions, summations, and integrals).
After opening the Equation Editor, you are ready to select a symbol or template.
After choosing a template from the Equation toolbar, you are ready to make that template an equation by typing numbers or letters in the appropriate text boxes.
