Equivalent of LaTeX “eqnarray” in Microsoft Word 2007 equation editor?

Question

In LaTeX one can use the eqnarray environment to display a set of equations aligned horizontally on their equality signs or other element, e.g.:

\begin{eqnarray*}
  x &=& 5! \\
    &=& 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1
\end{eqnarray*}

This will render as follows (notice the alignment of the equality signs):

Is there a good way to achieve the same effect in Microsoft Word 2007's built in equation editor?

Answer 1

Not exactly, but this site has some good introductory material. The equation editor is a bit more visual than latex:

Enter the following equations and align them at the = sign by choosing Format/Align At = after typing them. Also try using the alignment symbol - - to align equations.
