I, also, do not use Tex. I convert MS word files (including equations) to pdf using a free utility, PrimoPdf. It installs as a printer, so any file that has a file/print menu option can convert its file's contents to pdf: just select PrimoPdf as your "printer". You can download it from http://www.primopdf.com/ Bob --- Steve Gray wrote:
When I need a PDF for math I write the paper in Word (and MS Equation) and use BullZip Printer to make a PDF file. I use Tex only as a very last resort because I can't remember how to use it for equations, graphs, etc. from one use to the next, and I dislike the fact that user-visible embedded codes should have disappeared 25 years ago. BullZip seems to work well for what I've used it for so far, and it's about $20. I am ready to be called an iconoclastic crank for this opinion.

I compile TeX directly to PDF using free software called TeXShop --- I've found this system robust and reliable, if lacking fancy facilities such as inline WYSIWIG availalble on some other (PC) systems. It runs on pretty much any available harware/software, and the output produced is searchable by other PDF viewers (I tried).
