Their two main competitors, MathType and Expressionist both do this,
I wonder why *they* bothered...

If they produced a converter that translated a whole document directly
into TeX, I think they'd be onto a winner.  (Another similar product,
Formulator, claims to do this, but it's implementation is lousy).  The
other two neccessitate labourious equation-by-equation conversion.
