how to show a math/science sample calculation

[Paul]

This is what I'm trying to do: I want to build a Word
template that will allow a group of chemists to create
scientific reports. One section of their current report
requires them to perform a calculation by selecting the
appropriate equation from a group of 5
(add/subtract/multiply/divide are the only operands) and
then show the sample calculation. Currently, they do this
by hand on a calculator and a blank sheet of paper. To
show the sample calculation they type it in Word using the
Microsoft Equation Editor.

This works but I want to automate the process by creating
a custom toolbar with 5 buttons to open 1 of 5 UserForms.
Prompt users for data on this form, perform the
calculation and transfer result to the Word doc. Can
anyone think of how to insert the sample calculation in
the Word doc? Does the equation editor have an object
model that can be manipulated programmatically? This is
Word Xp. Also posted this to the UserForm group.

Thanks
