You're not using the Delete or Backspace key to try to get rid of it,
are you?

I admit I've never used the Equation Editor (though I've used Fields
extensively), so there may be some sort of weird interaction, but the
way to delete a Comment balloon is to select the balloon (just click
inside it; it darkens), and go to the place such things come from --
in Word2007 (and presumably 2010), it's on the Review tab, Comments
group, second icon from the left.

comments, but I don't want to distribute the document that way.
