To write formulas in Microsoft Word for a lab report, utilize the built-in equation editor for a professional appearance. Access it by selecting 'Insert' and then 'Equation' from the menu. The equation editor in Word 2007 and later versions offers improved functionality compared to earlier versions. Users can explore various features, including vector notation and derivatives, through experimentation within the editor. For more detailed guidance, online resources are available, but the built-in tools provide sufficient capabilities for most equation formatting needs.

Dude
Could you tell me how to differential equations in microsoft word.
link post in the above reply is not available now.
 
Just Google it. Word has a built-in equation editor.
 
select:

insert-> object -> Microsoft equation editor

You will need to scroll down a list to get to the Equation editor
 
MS Word for Windows 7.0 has a built-in equation editor that is much better than its earlier versions. At the top menu bar select 'insert', then on the r.h. side select 'Equation'. You have to play with it a bit to find everything (like where the vector notation is, and how to enter derivatives, etc). Once you experiment a bit, it comes fairly intuitively.
