I use MikTeX 1.2e without much problem. However, because of the virtual fonts, you can't use YAP to view the compiled TeX document. You must use DVIPS to convert the .dvi file to postscript, which can be viewed or printed with Ghostscript/Ghostview. You will need to point Ghostscript at the Mathematica type 1 fonts by adjusting the fontmap file. Paul Hinton has a template for this, which you can find at http://support.wolfram.com/International/Japan/Graphics/Formats/EPS/GS/windo ws_fontmap40.txt Detailed instructions for configuring MikTeX are available at http://support.wolfram.com/FrontEnds/Export/TeX/MikTeX.html and Ghostscript http://support.wolfram.com/Graphics/Formats/EPS/Ghostscript.html Having said that, I have found it more convenient to use Adobe Acrobat to create pdf documents incorporating Mathematica formulae and eps figures. This can be configured as a 'one step' conversion and Acrobat 4.0 will also output postscript format directly if you wish. If you prefer using MikTeX, I would suggest installing a TeX Shell which will call DVIPS and ghostscript as needed (I use TeXShell, available at http://www.physik.uni-bielefeld.de/experi/d3/persons/struve/texshell/index.h tml ).
