For a year or so, I wound up doing scientific typing at MIT, where I was introduced to two mac tricks for scientific/mathematical output. One was Expressionist, which comes as a DA & application. Just point & click, and it does the rest. Then just paste into your MS Word document, and VOILA!. This was very easy and put out terrific quality stuff. There were others who used Tex for the Mac, which produced beautiful output, and I understand its out put is readily transferable from platform to platform. However, it isn't WYSIWYG in the input stage, and certainly isn't very mac-like in its interface. But, I found many people who said the first method was very acceptable. It is a bit tricky playing with line spacing, but by customizing your menu in Word, you can make it relatively painless.
