The error message when you enter the equation editor is a bit misleading. I
had the same thing and it turned out that the problem is that the Word install
routine incorrectly installs the MTExtra and Fences fonts.  The fix that
worked for me was:

   1. Go into the font section of the control panel and delete the Fences
      and MTExtra fonts from the font list.  Make sure the the 'Delete from
      disk' option is not selected.

   2. Got back to the Add option and reinstall those two fonts.

After that, everything worked fine.
