Microsoft Equation used to insert the equation into a document like text and
keep it aligned with the body of the text it was put into. Now it treats it
more like a graphic and must be manually aligned. At times you cannot insert
it into the document without totally messing up the rest of the current line.

Just put it back to the way it had been. It worked great until this last
version of Office. Now it is a pain in the *** to use.

In Word, click on Tools Options. Click on the Edit tab and you'll see two
drop-down boxes. In the one labeled "Insert/paste pictures as:", make sure
it says "Inline with text".
