WP has released version 2.0.1 which can now read Word 4.0 files!!! I guess the next thing on the agenda is to get out a version which can also write into Word 4.0 format! I haven't seen it but it kind of supports XTND. If they got it right, then it would read and write the majority of file formats. See a copy of MacWrite II 1.1 to see how XTND is supposed to work! Now back to the question at hand. Why not use an equasion editor. There are DAs for this purpose. MathType is one and there are others... --Patrick Hoepfner |+ +| Internet: hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov --America Online: PatrickH9 | O | SPAN: LHEAVX::HOEPFNER (6197::HOEPFNER) -- +--------------------------+---------------------------------------+ / Patrick Hoepfner | NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center \ / America Online: PatrickH9 | Internet: hoepfner@heasfs.gsfc.nasa.gov \ +-----------------------------+------------------------------------------+
