Having edited math textbooks for students 5-12 in my professional live 
and still doing so occasionally after retirement, I found out that I had 
to bite the bullet and pay some Euros for MathType (the formula editor 
Word was a light version of this plugin until 2003, I think) when being 
forced by my customers to use Word.  Only this way  I achieved to 
smoothly integrate formulas into the document fonts.
As far as I know, the MathType engine is tex based.
