Yes, of course.

How could you have an aversion to writing something like this:

\[\left(\!\!\!
   \begin{array}{c}
     n \\
     r
   \end{array}
   \!\!\!\right) = {^n}C_r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}
\]

to get output like this

or perhaps

\begin{equation}
A_{m,n} =
\begin{pmatrix}
a_{1,1} & a_{1,2} & \cdots & a_{1,n} \\
a_{2,1} & a_{2,2} & \cdots & a_{2,n} \\
\vdots  & \vdots  & \ddots & \vdots  \\
a_{m,1} & a_{m,2} & \cdots & a_{m,n} \\
\end{pmatrix}
\end{equation}

and I haven't even included the rest of the latex document setup etc.

Don't get me wrong, its all very logical and latex does wonderful  
typesetting, and if all I was ever doing was writing maths or physics  
journal papers I would probably use it.

But otherwise, Word's equation editor does just fine.

Cheers,
Ashley.
