No. There was a fairly long discussion of this in January when the FWP demo
came out. AAS (now Ashton-Tate) specifically didn't include formula
processing because they felt it was a fairly obscure feature and there are
already a number of independent products taht they felt covered the
territory well enough. And you can always go in the draw layer and build
it up manually, much as you would in something like MacDraw.
I'm not even going to get into whether this is a good or bad decision. We
had this flame war last time. But no, there's no math processing.
