Word does actually have an equation editor in it that can be used. It may not be there by default, but you can add it into the install if need be. Check the menus for the equation editor and see how that goes.

Why can't you just type something like 4x=20 into a word document? That is, unless this isn't what you mean by an equation. On Dec 4, 2009, at 7:31 AM, Donal Fitzpatrick wrote: > No bother Nick.

Yeah, I heard of TeXShop. I've always spelt it LaTEX, with L capitalized, including TEX but not the a. It didn't seem to matter much how I w typed it, though. But thanks for the recommendation. I assume TeXShop is accessible, then. >>>> >>>> Regards, >>>> Nic >>>> Skype: Kvalme >>>> MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk >>>> AIM: cincinster >>>> yahoo Messenger: cin368 >>>> Facebook Profile >>>> My Twitter >>>> >>>> On Dec 4, 2009, at 12:58 PM, Donal Fitzpatrick wrote: >>>> >>>>> Hi Nick, >>>>> >>>>> I use TeXShop. By the way, know what you mean about the dangers of googling this... To improve your hits, spell it "L Aa T e X" (that is, the L, T and X capitalised). >>>>> >>>>> Cheers, >>>>> >>>>> Donal >>>>> On 4 Dec 2009, at 11:54, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> Hi guys, >>>>>> >>>>>> I'm currently learning LaTEX, and I've been looking for a Macintosh interpreter.
