Tables are a breeze, just downright fun with word for windows.
Equations it can sorta handle. A lot depends on whether your printer
driver/printer fonts support symmbol fonts. If not, you are out of
luck. So, I get resonable symbol fonts on my LX-800, but garbage on my
Deskjet, which is really sad because I do my "publish quality" papers
on the Deskjet. End up prnting them on a Laserwriter offf a
Macintosh... Sigh.
