doesn't recognise Expressionist's or MathType's (this is what we use)
information about vertical alignment, so you have to align each equation (or
PICT graphic, from Word's point of view) manually via the character format
dialog.  WriteNow, while not as powerful as Word, does recognise the embedded
information, so equations are automatically aligned vertically when they are
pasted in (VERY popular with those who do a lot of math typing, who are
prepared to sacrifice Word's power for this feature -- hear that, Microsoft?
;-) ).  There is a Sample WriteNow application which comes with WriteNow, which
any dealer should be able to give you to try it out.
