Off-line program to write math formula

In summary, the conversation is about finding a program that can write math formulas and equations in LaTeX form. The person is not familiar with LaTeX but is willing to learn quickly. They also want the created formulas to be able to be transferred into MS Office. One suggestion is Mathcast, which allows for easy creation of formulas and can be copied and pasted into a word processor. Another option is MathType, which is a paid program but has more features and can export LaTeX code.

I am looking for a program ( off-line) that makes me write math formula and equation in a standard LaTeX form. I am not familar with LaTeX but I can learn the codes fast. I also need the created formula to be transformed into Ms-Office as I am not happy with MS-math editor.

Not exactly latex, but Mathcast allows you to create documents of your formulas in a nice easy way and then you can copy and paste them into a word processor kind of program.

For many years I've used MathType as a replacement for the MS Office equation editor, for inserting equations into MS Word documents. It has more features, produces better-looking equations, and can export LaTeX code which I've used occasionally here on PF. Its main drawback is that you have to pay for it.
