Does Word 2007's equation editor have any equivalent to the \stackrel or \overset commands in LaTeX?
I'd like to be able to stack custom text on top of = signs, etc.

You can use \above and \below:
a=\above("foo") b
becomes
a=┴"foo" b
which becomes
A more or less complete description of the formula language in Word is given in Unicode Technical Note #28, although the final implementation differs somewhat in some areas. Unfortunately this is the only real documentation that's there (I asked the author of the math typesetting stuff at MS :-)).

See this article : Superimposing Characters.
The basic idea is to insert a field of type equation containing EQ \o (x,y) where x and y are the characters you want to superimpose.

Nice, and it even works inside equations. But see here: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~pan/documents/latex/stackrel.html ... \stackrel does an entirely different thing than superimposing characters on top of each other. It merely stacks them.
+1. (I would give you +10 if I could!) Thank you very much! I have been under the impression that this cannot be done in Word at all! – Andreas Rejbrand – 2011-10-07T09:05:53.383
