I have started learning to use Textures too because I am not pleased
with the MS Word equations in _large_ documents.  I also prefer sharp
looking equations in my documents; however, in documents with only
a few equations, I find it easier (or at least as easy) to use Word 
to build my equations then use the character positioning (Displace)
commands to fine-tune the apperance of the equations.  Although this 
is almost as masochistic as learning TeX, it is alot cheaper.
