Yes, thank you! (Thanks also to Carl Woll and Gianluca Gorni, who privately sent the same solution.) But this solution, using TraditionalForm[HoldForm[y = f[x]]] within the Text function, is not foolproof (as Gianluca Gorni pointed out to me): Mathematica will still insist on changing the form in some instances, e.g., TraditionalForm[HoldForm[y = f[x] + c]] displays (with the letters italicized Times) as: y = c + f(x) Paul Abbott wrote: > In article <bdefg7$dko$1 at smc.vnet.net>, > Murray Eisenberg <murray at math.umass.edu> wrote: > > >>Thanks to all who have replied so far -- and please keep the answers >>coming!
