But not nearly as much as you can do with the WordPerfect equation editor.
You can't, for instance, put an arrow above a letter to signify a vector.
There are also a lot of random symbols that WordPerfect will simulate for
you.  The W4W equation editor doubles as a quick and easy way to bring your
computer to its knees; I'm running on a 20Mhz 386, and have never been
bothered by speed problems except when doing tables or equations in W4W, or
working with Corel.
