The Equation Editor in Word also has arrows for chemical reactions. It
has 6 of them, and if the arrows you need aren't there, try MathType
-- it has 27 different arrows. Some of the ones missing from Equation
Editor that are in MathType are equilibrium, and arrows for unbalanced
reactions. (I'm not a chemist, so I don't know if that's the right
term, but it's one arrow on top of another one, and one of the arrows
is longer than the other.)

How do I insert a reversible arrow in chemical equations in a Word
document?
This character is in several fonts, including Arial Unicode MS, MS
Mincho, and
Lucida Sans Unicode. The right-over-left character is Unicode
character 21c4,
and the left-over-right one is 21c6. Type the number and press
Alt+X.
For other ways of inserting these characters, see
