When you say he "doesn't have a good equation editor" is he including the 
freebie version of mathtype that comes with Microsoft Office?  It generally 
isn't installed by default; you have to explicitly select it during 
installation, and so a lot of people do not even realize it is there.  I 
like it very much myself and I imagine the pro version Marcello mentions is 
even better.  It may be that he just doesn't or won't like mathtype; but he 
should definitely check it out first if he doesn't already know that he has it.

Zillions of equations created with mathtype can be found in my handouts at
