Try MathType.

I've used four different equation word processors (MacEqn, Expressionist, 
MathType and something else) in my search for the best of this genre, and I 
found MathType to be the best by far.  TeXtures is actually even better but
much more difficult to use.

MathType comes as an application and a DA that "hooks" to the application.

It can be obtained from ComputerWare (415-323-7559, 800-235-1155) 
350 Cambridge Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94306, for $89 US. or directly from the
publisher Design Science, Inc.  6475-B E. Pacific Coast Highway, Suite 392
Long Beach, CA 90803 (213)-433-0685 for $149 US.

There is a demo available that does everything the real product does but the
former will randomly substitute characters when you try to paste an equation to
the clipboard.
