I was wondering if W4W has an equation editor similar to Word Perfects?
I have looked at several books for W4W in a bookstore but didn't see
mention of an equation editor.
Thanks
Peter

I don't know what the equation editor in Word Perfect is like, but WfW does have an equation field that works very nicely. You can split the window in two and edit the equation in one window while seeing the equation in the other. You need the symbol font for mathematical characters, though you can do quite a lot without it. -david preston@lll-crg.llnl.gov B4 f+ t- k+ s-/+ r P8/3 S6 b+/- g- l-/+ y- z/! n o+/++ x a+ u v-- j++ D.

You can't, for instance, put an arrow above a letter to signify a vector. There are also a lot of random symbols that WordPerfect will simulate for you. The W4W equation editor doubles as a quick and easy way to bring your computer to its knees; I'm running on a 20Mhz 386, and have never been bothered by speed problems except when doing tables or equations in W4W, or working with Corel. -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu
