I tried to send this earlier today -- but lost my connection just as I mailed
it -- we'll see.

I use TeX on the Mac here at the SSC -- but have opted for OzTeX rather than
TeXtures or Lightning TeXtures...  This allows for using Microsoft Word (or any
other WP) as editor and then OzTeX (pronounced Aussie? the author is in
Australia) to TeX the docs.

If you are interested in OzTeX, it's free and can be downloaded from Chicago
Midway -- I can get the details if you're interested.  I keep mine (and all
those I distribute to other users here) loaded with Plain, PHYZZX and LaTeX,
plus TeXsis, the macro package we use here as standard.  The main difference is
that you do not store the font files in your system -- they are kept as PK
files in the OzTeX folder.  Keeps the system running cleaner. (It does,
however, make the OxTeX require 11+ megs.)

As for the SPELLING CHECKER problem, I sat down and ran the manuals for PHYZZX,
TeXsis and a version of Knuth's TeXbook I pulled off the internet through
Microsoft word and created a dictionary supplement with the majority of those
\characters included.  Of course, it also includes a swarm of high energy
physics terms and names of institutions and physicists.

I could RTF this to you if you're interested.  It wouldn't be too great a task
to remove the HEP terms and proper nouns.

I started out on TeXtures, but it tends to collapse under the weight of some of
our docs -- and OzTeX has not.

But the dictionary sup would work either way.
