st: OT: favorite math equations editor - summary and thanks

["Mary (Merlin) Marshall" <marshall.11@osu.edu>]

Greetings Statalist,

I wanted to thank those who responded to my request for information last 
week about equation editors, for use in classroom presentations and 
publications, to be used with the MS operating system.  Thanks to Michael 
Ash, Nick Cox, Marcello Pagano, Nimitriy Masterov, Daniel Feenberg, Richard 
Williams, John Wallace, Renzo Comolli, Scott Merryman and Kit Baum.

Seems that LaTex, or some variant like MikTex or LyX are popular.  Others 
mentioned were the equation editor which comes with MS Office, or its 
upgrade to MathType Pro, the equation editor with Word Perfect, and 
Scientific WorkPlace.

Thanks for your comments about what you liked about the programs you used, 
and your problems with other programs you have encountered.  Thanks also 
for your links to websites where programs can be downloaded, or where there 
are examples of your favorite equation editor in use.

I've collected your comments and will pass the information onto my 
colleague.  This will be a great help in his search for an equation editor 
that suits him.  He has talked with some of the other faculty on the Ohio 
State campus, but it is nice to get an "outside" view as well.

Cheers,
Merlin Marshall
