Also, if you use the equation editor, there is a macro you should also 
install.  Instructions for doing so with Office XP/Word 2002 are at

I think it is also on the installation disks.  In other versions, I think 
the macro is typically called support.dot or support9.dot or something like 
that.  This macro lets you easily change the equation editor options.  The 
main option I like is forceopen, which opens the equation editor in a 
separate window.  I personally prefer this, although others may not.
