I also prefer sharp looking equations in my documents; however, in documents with only a few equations, I find it easier (or at least as easy) to use Word to build my equations then use the character positioning (Displace) commands to fine-tune the apperance of the equations. Although this is almost as masochistic as learning TeX, it is alot cheaper. Bob Pugh {No witty sayings or disclaimers yet}
