In school untill 5 class we used symbol ":" for division too, but later always used fraction notation.
I wouldnt used latex if openoffice had more abilities like mathematical symbols. By the way there is some other projects mathematical notation. You can look MATHML project of W3C in internet if you want.

------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Jan 27 07:08:44 -0800 2005 ------- Im working as a maths teacher in germany and here, the symbol for a division is simply a ":" (colon , no dash in the middle). Therefore I will not use the "div" symbol from the formula editor because me students won't understand (at least some of them). I have to use a colon, in the formula editor the colon is always shown with italic attribute so I have to write for every division "a nitalic : b" to get the result "a : b", that I need in my papers at school.
I would in common appreceate a larger amount of symbols like in Latex ("double" letters, I think they are called "Fraktur", and also a mapsto-symbol like in Latex).
