Given a formula in a document x.odf, it can be transferred into a text 
document (.odt) by Insert -> Object -> OLE Object -> Create from File and 
search for the file.

If the formula document is already open in OOo, then in Math select all the 
text (Ctrl-A) and copy to the clipboard (Ctrl-C), then in Writer, paste it 
(Ctrl-V), select the just copied text and then Insert -> Object -> Formula.

There may be other methods, but those are the two I've used regularly.

For formulae that are to be used only within a single text document, I usually 
type the formula as it would be seen in the lower pane of Math, select the 
text and Insert -> Object -> Formula, as it's faster, even though probably 
more error prone.
