How can one insert the R symbol for the real numbers into an equation using Microsoft Equation 3.0 available in MS Word? I mean this double struck capital ℝ.

I struggle with it and have already tried:
- Copy and paste
- Convert ASCII Hexadecimal Code 211D into the wished symbol
- Use the special font as Cambria Math and others

All these options perfectly work in the running text, but not in formulas!
Make my day and tell me that it's possible (must be in MS Equation).
