Unfortunatly it needs some wild guessing when trying to understand what
you try to achieve, so the follwing might be off topic. Probably
ExpressionCell is what you are looking for, e.g.:
ExpressionCell[(x + 1)^a/(1 + y)^2]

Cell is the low level version, which needs some extra effort to create a
correctly formatted cell in the notebook. This would be one way to
create a cell with a formatted formula within it:
CellPrint[Cell[BoxData[ToBoxes[(x + 1)^a/(1 + y)^2]], "Output"]]

Hi, John,
just to add few things to what Albert advised.
We very recently had a discussion on how to introduce a expression and accentuate it. You can have a look for various ideas
proposed in this discussion.
Few further possibilities:
This shows the integral and the integration result:
aa = ExpressionCell[
"\!\(\*SubsuperscriptBox[\"\[Integral]\", \"a\", \"b\"]\)x\
\[DifferentialD]x=" \!\(
\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\), \(a\), \(b\)]\(x \
\[DifferentialD]x\)\), "Traditional"];
aa
(ExpressionCell[
"\!\(\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\), \(a\), \(b\)]\)x\
\[DifferentialD]x=" (
Rational[-1, 2] $CellContext`a^2 + Rational[
1, 2] $CellContext`b^2), "Output"])
This in addition fixes a format of one part of the expression different from that of another part:
Clear[cell];
cell = Row[{ExpressionCell[
Style["\!\(\*SubsuperscriptBox[\"\[Integral]\", \"a\", \"b\"]\)x\
\[DifferentialD]x=", Italic, 22, Blue, Bold]],
ExpressionCell[Style[\!\(
\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\), \(a\), \(b\)]\(x \
\[DifferentialD]x\)\), Italic, 22]]}];
cell
(Row[{ExpressionCell[
Style["\!\(\*SubsuperscriptBox[\(\[Integral]\), \(a\), \(b\)]\)x\
\[DifferentialD]x=", Italic, 22, RGBColor[0, 0, 1], Bold]],
ExpressionCell[
Style[Rational[-1, 2] $CellContext`a^2 + Rational[
1, 2] $CellContext`b^2, Italic, 22]]}])
However, it seems me that the most comfortable way is to fix the expression using Style. Like this:
In[9]:= Style["\!\(\*FractionBox[SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"y\"],
RowBox[{\"1\", \"+\",
RowBox[{\"a\", \"/\", \"b\"}]}]]\)", 22, Italic, Bold, Red, "Courier \
New"]
Out[9]= \!\(\*
StyleBox["\<\"\\!\\(\\*FractionBox[SuperscriptBox[\\(x\\), \\(y\\)], \
\\(1 + a/b\\)]\\)\"\>", "Courier New",
StripOnInput->False,
FrontFaceColor->RGBColor[1, 0, 0],
BackFaceColor->RGBColor[1, 0, 0],
GraphicsColor->RGBColor[1, 0, 0],
FontSize->22,
FontWeight->Bold,
FontSlant->Italic,
FontColor->RGBColor[1, 0, 0]]\)
This also allows to differently format part of the formula like this:
Row[{Style["\!\(\*FractionBox[SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"y\"],
RowBox[{\"1\", \"+\",
RowBox[{\"a\", \"/\", \"b\"}]}]]\)", 22, Italic, Bold, Red,
"Courier New"],
Style["\!\(\*FractionBox[\"dz\", \"dx\"]\)", 28, Italic, Bold,
Blue, "Times New Roman"]
}]
or place them into a column, again with an independent formatting like this:
Column[{Style["\!\(\*FractionBox[SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"y\"],
RowBox[{\"1\", \"+\",
RowBox[{\"a\", \"/\", \"b\"}]}]]\)", 22, Italic, Bold, Red,
"Courier New"],
Style["\!\(\*FractionBox[\"dz\", \"dx\"]\)", 28, Italic, Bold,
Blue, "Times New Roman"]
}]
Have fun, Alexei
