How can I insert Scientific Formulas into the text of a Word Document?

Question

More specifically the Square Root symbol. I have tried to create the symbol using Wingdings etc. To no avail!

Answer 1

insert / object / Microsoft equation 3.0

have fun.

Answer 2

On the insert menu
select Object

then select Microsoft Equation 3.0 from
the pop up window.

This should give a toolbar with all the symbols

Answer 3

If you have the full-up Word package, click on 'insert', 'object', and then, when the list of objects drops down, scroll down to 'Equation'. it's one of the most totally Kewl equation editors i have ever used. It's got every symbol in it that I've ever seen (and a couple that I hadn't ever seen before )

You can also put a button on your toolbar to bring it up. Look through 'Help' to find out how.

I would have *killed* to have had something like that when I was in school

Answer 4

To insert a mathematical (or scientific) equation into microsoft word, click the "INSERT" menu, then click on object. Scroll down until you see Microsoft Equation 3.0. Once you click on this, you can use this editor to create equations or formulas and insert them into your document.

Try MS Equation Editor as suggested by others. In case it is not installed in your computer use "Character Map". The method is:

Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map

This has all common symbols including integrals
