Equation Builder (aka Equation Editor) is included with Microsoft Office 2007 edition. One key advantage of the editor is that it allows the user to key-in mathematical formulas with the use of keystrokes.  This means that a user can key-in complex mathematical formulas with minimal switching between keyboard and mouse. The technology is based on the Office Mathematics Markup Language (OMML) plus the math autocorrect option to provide a WYSIWYG interface.
