There are two main players in the market for "standalone" applications
specifically designed to edit mathematical expressions which can then be pasted
into, say, word processors.  They are are Expressionist and MathType (both
available in Australia).  IMHO, MathType is the better one.

There are also some others which integrate mathematical expression editing and
wordprocessing.  Word 5 includes a subset of MathType (missing some of the
nicer features of the interface, but otherwise fully functional).  There's also
MathWriter, but I'm not sure if the new verison has been released yet.

Word 5 would be the cheapest route if you're already using Word 4.
