Does anybody know of a good equation editor "add-in" for Word for Windows ? The current one is just not suitable. Steve Williams Williams@topaz.ucq.edu.au

There is a product called Mathtype that using pictures of symbols that can be
clicked on to build extremely complex formulas in just a few minutes -
something that would take you alsmost 30 minutes in W4W. You then highlight
the equation/formula and copy it to the clipbaord - then paste it into Word as
a graphic, allowing for it to be placed anywhere by dragging it around. It is
very powerful and no formula is too hard.
It is available in Australia, through Software Sanctuary also known as
Solutions on the Gold Coast, Queensland - not all that far from you really!
This is commercial software and when I last saw the price it was approx. $200
- I think it is what all scientists or students need!!

Has anyone actually used the program? Does it work OK? Tom
