Hi Bill, I personal like TeX more to write documents even when the expression formating in Math 4.0 looks better than ever. The first reason is: I like to have my hands on the keyboard and I hate it to switch between the mous and the keyboard. It is much to slow, it breaks the flow of ideas .. ok I hate it The second reason is I'm much more handy to setup some (La)TeX macros than to make StyleBoxe[] + Palettes to enter the boxes fast (with a mouse). The third reason is: LaTeX can better deal with meta-informations like table of contents, index, literatur data bases .. If you become a bit handy in LaTeX you will not type formulas with anything else. Regards Jens "William B. Marks" wrote: > > Just getting started on LaTex.
