Equation Editor is included on the Word/Office 97 installation CD, but
it is not installed by default. You can add the feature through Start |
Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Microsoft Office 97.

I have Word 97 and don't really want to spend the money
right now for a newer version. Does anyone know where I
can get or download equation editor object add-in for Word
97? It isn't part of the present package although it is
part of newer versions of MS Office or MS Word.
Thanks
