So I love how in PF I can use Latex to communicate the language of Math and Physics to discuss a particular problem effectively.

But, sometime I want to discuss outside PF, like via e-mail. Is there any free programs that use Latex that I could insert in a ms word doc and attach? I hate equation editor since it is the free version. I know Latex well enough that it would be extremely convenient to use.

thanks,
Casey

Code: 
latex codefile.tex
dvipng codefile.dvi
