Default How to ADD equations, drawings to Word 2003?

If you've already created these diagrams in another program, have you tried
Insert | Picture | From File? To create equations, you can use the Equation
Editor, which is not installed by default. First check Insert | Object |
Create New and see if Microsoft Equation 3.0 is listed. If it is, then EE is
installed (you can add a toolbar button to make it more easily accessible).
If not, go to Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft Office,
and click the Change button. In the first page, select "Add or Remove
Features." On the next page, expand "Office Tools." Select Equation Editor
and set it to "Run from My Computer." Click the Update button, and insert
the Office CD when prompted.

How do I add technical diagrams to Word 2003

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am typing an engineering document for school. This requires me to add
drawings and equations to it.

The equations are of the type normally found in calculus, namely
integrals, partial dervatives, summations, with Greek letters etc. Word
allows me to insert Greek letters, but it balks when I try to put them
in equations, under radical or integral signs, etc.

The drawings are circuit diagrams, but they are not terribly
complicated. I see in WORD 2003 that I can ADD a picture, but it isn't
clear HOW to DRAW the picture. Do I need to buy additional software to
add the circuit diagrams and/or equations? Can I get those in one
package?

Thanks; Bill
