If you want to create a custom keystroke, use the instructions in Word Help on the subject: The procedure in the beta is the same as in Word 2011. The built-in keyboard shortcut to insert an equation in Word 2011 is Control+=, which also works in the beta.

I'm not doubting what you report, but assuming you're right it has to be due to someone or something* having assigned it at one time or another. In 2008, 2011 & the beta, neither of the shortcuts you mentioned originally nor the Ctrl+Command+0 combination are used for any command in either version. Well, my purpose isn't to argue with you:-) I'm simply reporting my findings based on a pristine user account I maintain strictly for the purpose of verifying default settings & Preferences. Typing Equations in word is now as easy as it is in LaTeX.

Press + (where ever you want to insert square root, you will get equation box, and then) Type (you are done) For other shortcuts useful in preparing report/document in Word please see. Update: This is a strange behaviour that appears to share with Word for Mac 2016.Insert and edit an equation, on your note, click where you want to insert the equation.If you want to edit it later, just click the equation.
