There's a really nice equation formater called MacEqn, put out by
Recognition Technologies, of Rochester, NY.  I'm not sure where it's
available, I got my copy at the U of Utah bookstore, and the label says
"Distributed under license to the University of Utah Computer Center."
It handles sums, products, fractions, roots, sub/super scripts, big
brackets, and most other things you want to do.  Its only major flaw is
that input is strictly sequential, the only way to change something is
to backspace to where you created it, and redo it.  It's a desk
accessory, you copy the equation to the clipboard and paste it into your
document (as a Pict).  Won't automatically number equations, but...
