Is there a way, in Microsoft word, for it not to spell check a sentence with an equation in it? It is annoying and happens nearly any time I want the equation in a sentence as opposed to giving the equation its own line, which normally does not give me any problems. A simple check box under spell checker for "don't check sentence with equation in it," would work wonders.

You can apply a No Proofing style to the equations as described at http://WordFAQs.mvps.org/MasterSpellCheck.htm#ExemptingText.
Hi,
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
I will assist you regarding the issue you’re experiencing in Word.
How are you inserting/adding the equation in Word?
When an equation in inserted from within Word (Insert and Equation), Word doesn’t perform spell check.
Can you add the sample file with the equation on SkyDrive to verify?
