This is a sneaky one. Every time I have to reinstall Office (about once a
year), I have to hunt around and find where it is.
It's hidden under Office Tools in the list of components that you can add
(at least that's where I found it on my Office 97 SR-2 CD). Click Change
Options and make sure the Equation Editor checkbox is checked.
