Default Actuarial notation source for MS Word?

I'm not sure if this is in the correct section, but I'm looking for a source, probably online where I can get actuarial notation to post in a Word document. Think all notation that would have been used in the Life Contingencies exam. If anyone has any idea of where I could find this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can that be done in LaTeX?

Seems there have been threads about this but I would not know what to search for.

If you don't find a good solution directly within Word, it might be worthwhile to try this Word plug-in for LaTex. I haven't used this plug-in, but I have used LaTeX. I found the plug-in by Googling (MS Word LaTex).

I used LaTeX in my personal study notes that I made using Tiddly Wiki. LaTeX is quick to learn, semi-intuitive once you get going, has symbols for everything under the sun, and has been widely supported in the open source community for years. It's built upon TeX by Donald Knuth.
