	My colleagues, who use a lot of math in their papers, all
swear by t-cubed. We got a site license for our dept., and it is the official   
department word-processing software. It's wysiwyg, runs in graphics, and
apparently has good printer support. I use less math, myself, and have just
gotten used to WP5.0. I'm not about to switch again soon.
