Default Is it possible to use Word to create a document like this?

Thank you everyone!! Yes I did get it wrong in that I expected dragging the
icon to the toolbar area would place the toolbar there but when I dragged
the icon to an existing toolbar, it slid in beautifully. It's great now!!!
Thanks EVERYONE!!!

Regarding EE, see what Suzanne posted.

Regarding the cylinder shown on your example.
It can be drawn using 4 autoshapes, 1) a cylinder, 2) an oval, 3) two
horizontal lines (radii).

The cylinder is the bottom object. since the cylinder cannot be drawn as a
see through object, you need to overlay the oval on top of the cylinder,
aligned with cylinders bottom edge. If you color shade or color fill the
objects, then you may want to overlay a second oval at the cylinders top
edge. The radii are the last objects, they are aligned with the centers of
the ovals, and are right aligned with the cylinder.

Thanks Tom, this sure did look promising. I put in my Office cd and
found
the Equation Editor, installed it according to this site
http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/W...on_editor.html
Everything went well with the install, no errors, was Successful. Then I
opened Word (even after restarting the computer) and went through this
procedure
http://www.ele.uri.edu/Courses/ele34...equations.html
but I cannot seem to be able to drag the Equation Editor to the toolbar.
It's checked so it's supposedly viewable but I cannot find the Editor
icon
anywhere.

Can you think why this is not showing up? I did choose Run All From
computer when I installed it, not just Run From Computer. It's so
strange
that everything went well with no errors but there's no toolbar to view.
I
attached a pic, hope it's ok.........

TIA for your help always!!!

Katy,

Yes, word can do this.
It would involve using the equation editor, and the drawing tools.

The example shown has nine formula, and one graphic. Most of the
formulas
are very simple, and could probably be typed out vice using the Eq
editor.
The cube root formulas will require the Eq editor. The Eq editor has
its
limits. There are several software packages that perform the creation
of
equations, and insert math symbology into word, or other software.
(Google,
equation editor for further assistance.)

This link should take you to the example of the type of document we
want
to
create.... using Word. Is this possible? perhaps by using wingdings
font
and/or symbols and does this look time-consuming using Word?

The link is:
http://images.search.yahoo.com/searc...7e67e&ei=UTF-8

It's for a math professor to create exams/etc. with. I know Word
contains a
lot of symbols and the wingdings has a LOT to choose from but it could
be
time-consuming to find all that are needed. The diagram could
possibly
be
done with Auto Shapes or Line Art. That looks easy compared to the
font
Is that Greek, does anyone know? Or a Latin symbol? Or Arabic?

Would it be possible to choose just one Font (ie which Wingding) or is
this
something that is usually created with a mathematical program, not
Word
at
all?

Thanks for ANY advice........... katy
