MS Equation is an option when you install MS Office (you've got to check a checkbox at installation or re-installation time). Once installed it's available for Word documents, you can paste equations into Excel (not that they are of much use there, just embellish the whole appearance of your spreadsheet). More often than not the option is skipped by system administrators (or those who are responsible for installing software in offices or copmpanies) as not many people use it.
