I have a couple of comments on equation processing: 1. You can raise or lower imported graphics one point at a time in Word 3.0x by selecting the graphic, hitting command-D, and designating the graphic as a super or subscript. Note that the screen representation is often cut off. To see how the imported graphic will print, use page preview and the magnifying glass. 2. MacEqn 2.1 is a **major** upgrade from version 2.0. Selection is much easier (though still not perfect) and you can drag selections around the screen. There is also a user- definable palette so you don't have to keep changing fonts. It also takes up 60k on your disk, nearly three times as much space as the earlier version. Definitely worth the $12 for registered users. (Though you might keep a copy of the earlier version in case you prefer the smaller size). Does anyone know if Laserwriter versions of the Machias and Lovell fonts are available? These are very useful technical fonts based on the Boston font. steve ferry steve@UKMA.BITNET I have no connection with either Microsoft or Recognition Technologies except as a more-or-less satisfied customer.
