If you are using Microsoft Word 2007, click 'insert' then go to the 'shapes'
tab.
Go down to the 'lines' section and you will see a shape called 'elbow
connector' If you click this to insert it you will notice that the green
rotate handles will appear... Click on this and rotate the shape around until
it faces the right way for a long division symbol.

If you would like to type in the numbers for your students simply add text
boxes next to the symbol and type your numbers :)

This thread has been dormant for a while. But I do not see a "Fractions and
Radicals" group. My equation editor has a Fractions group, and it also has a
"Radicals" group. Neither has a long division symbol and there is no single
group like you describe. Has the long division been moved in more recent
versions of the equation editor?

I think the reference may have been to Microsoft Equation 3.0, the old
Equation Editor rather than the new one that comes with Word 2007. That EE
toolbar does have a "Fraction and radical templates" button.
