October 19, 2015 By Ravi Shankar 8 Comments

Word 2016, 2013 and 2010 provide users with the option to insert mathematical equations in a document. This is quite useful when you are preparing a word document with mathematical questions. Users can insert equations using the option available as part of the Office Ribbon’s Insert menu.
