Let's be clear what we're talking about he if you use the NEW
equation tool in Word 2007, Aeneas is exactly right. However, the
"old" Equation Editor, "Microsoft Equation 3.0" is still
available in Word 2007, and MathType 6 also works very well with
Word 2007. Equations from either of these apps can indeed be
saved in Word 2007 in the old .doc format, and can later be
edited in earlier versions of Word as well as in Word 2007.
