While I find it hard to believe that I would advocate using Tex, the 
very common equation editor MathType, for both Mac and Windows, will 
create Tex output. You can format an equation there, and it will 
place on the clipboard the associated tex commands. It'll go the 
other way too, but only for tex that Mathtype created. 

For example, 

%MathType!ZZhx47!ceaadeGcbmqdaaqasmOyd8aaaSqebiaIYaaakiGHTiaI0iXGHjXGJ
b %Wcraaaaa!058C! $$\sqrt {b^2-4ac}$$


This is ugly to read as Tex code  but it should print out as sqrt
(b^2 - 4ac) with the pretty radical sign. The stuff at the beginning
is all Mathtype comments for going back to a mathtype format eqn.

Didn't we have this discussion a couple of years ago? ;-)
