Alan,
I feel your pain. If you have to do this a lot MathType is not very
expensive and easy to use in FM (either OLE or MathML). IMHO it is becoming
the most widely used equation editor for hundreds of applications.
I assume you are adding the "estimated value" hat over a W matrix.
The MT output to me looks better than anything else I have seen.

Subject: Re: [Framers] I need a "hat" in an equation
My preference is to use TeX/LaTeX to produce a pdf of the equation. To be
honest, I never really had a lot of joy with Frame's equation editor and the
output from TeX is far superior to most other tools.
You can make your learning curve shallower by using one of the many online
LaTeX equation tools. They all do pretty much the same thing because they
all use pretty much the same binaries to do it with.
Without thorough testing, this tool seems to provide what I would be looking
for (direct input of TeX code, pdf output, some examples):
https://www.latex4technics.com
Here is where you can learn about writing the code:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics
Here is a link to all the symbols you might want (all 14032 of them)
http://tug.ctan.org/info/symbols/comprehensive/symbols-a4.pdf
Go to page 100 to find the hat code and other diacritics. e.g. \hat{W} vs
\mathring{W} or \bar{a}
