	This is what I've found out too! W4W is NOT suitable if you want
to write any formulas more advanced than F=m*a. :-( That is why I'm awaiting
WP4W with impatience. It is posible to get Greek characters though. At least
that is what I get when using the "symbol" font. There is also a document
included in my c:\winword directory that gives Greek letters by clicking 
with the mouse. (But as far as I remember I can't get these when I'm
using the formula writer :-(  )
