We use Persuasion 2.1 and MathType for this, although we're probably going to
switch to Expressionist fairly soon, since the publishers of MathType have
chosen to implement Microsoft's OLE instead of System 7's publish/subscribe. 

The biggest drawback is that equations pasted into Persuasion are black. Since
we usually want them to be white, I first have to color them in FreeHand. Now
that our entire department is using System 7, I can probably automate some of
this using publish/subscribe.
