Any suggestions for math equation editor?

You just need to get accustomed to the software. I used mathtype and didn't have a problem. Are you using it as a source for symbols? That's really all it is. Once you download, it creates a symbol add-in button in Word that allows you to enter special math symbols into your document.

I used the table format and would type each problem into a box. Once complete I would remove the borders so it would appear as a neat, clean word document.

I've also heard there were a few mentors that have allowed students who had issues to handwrite and scan into a pdf file (although not a common occurrence).
