MS Word: how do I type an equation involving letters above/below an arrow?

Question

I am trying to reproduce the following in MS Word 2016. That is, letters above and below an arrow. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

Solution

Type -> in the equation editor. It will give you an arrow. Then type \above. Then when you press the space bar, the equation editor will give you the space to write on above the arrow. Similarly, when you type \below followed by a press on the space bar, you will find the slot to write under the arrow.

Have you looked at the equation editor?

@fixer1234, yes I have but I did not find anything that worked.

Thanks! That is a clever workaround. Perhaps I'll do it like this if it's the only way.

Please provide more detail, where and how is the string place in the document?

(+1) this also works with text other than arrows. For example, typing x followed by \below, and then pressing space, will result in a empty box below x, which you can put other symbols in.
