I use both WP51 and WPWIN, so I will post to both lists.

1. How do I use boxes to make a figure that looks something like
   the following?

        -------------------
        |  1  |  2  |  3  |
        -------------------
        |  4  |  5  |  6  |
        -------------------
        |  7  |  8  |  9  |
        -------------------

   I obviously want the boxes to be "pretty".  I thought I was reasonably
   good at using boxes with WP, but I can't figure out how to make
   boxes like this.  It is trivial with certain other tools, for example
   with TeX or Script, but I can't figure out how to do it with WP.

2. How do I use boxes inside the equation editor.  Equations themselves
   go in boxes, but I want boxes within the boxes.  For example,
   if I have something trival like f(x) = 2x + 5, want to be able to
   draw a box around the "2x + 5".  Something like
              ________
      f(x) = | 2x + 5 |
             ----------

   Of course, I might want several such boxes at different places in the
   equation.

Thanks in advance.

If you don't have time to do it right today, what makes you think you are
going to have time to do it over again tomorrow?
