Thumbs up Answer: Vectors in equation editor

Yes, you can definitely insert vectors in the current equation editor in Microsoft Word. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Open a new or existing Word document and click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on "Equation" in the "Symbols" section of the ribbon. This will open the equation editor.
  3. In the equation editor, click on the "Accent" button in the "Structures" section of the ribbon. It looks like a small "hat" symbol.
  4. From the drop-down menu, select "Vector" (the third option from the top). This will insert a vector symbol above the letter you type.
  5. To place the tilde (~) underneath the letter, simply type the letter first and then click on the "Accent" button again and select "Tilde" (the second option from the top). This will insert the tilde underneath the letter.
  6. You can adjust the size and position of the vector and tilde by clicking on them and using the sizing and positioning handles that appear.

That's it! You should now have a vector symbol with a tilde underneath it in your equation. You don't need to purchase MathType or any other software to do this.
