   I have a feeling that that may be a long way away.  WP has released 
version 2.0.1 which can now <gasp> read Word 4.0 files!!!  I guess the 
next thing on the agenda is to get out a version which can also write 
into Word 4.0 format!

   I haven't seen it but it kind of supports XTND.  If they got it right, 
then it would read and write the majority of file formats.  See a copy 
of MacWrite II 1.1 to see how XTND is supposed to work!

   Now back to the question at hand.  Why not use an equasion editor.  
There are DAs for this purpose.  MathType is one and there are others...
