Boy, I am mixed up!!
Writer does math (equations), Math only writes (math equations) and Calc does both.??
Does Writer write math equations, or what.
Here is my understand of this....
Math writes (displays) equations (also known as formulas) but does not evaluate them. Essentially, it makes the equivalent of pictures of equations. These "pictures of equations" can be placed in Calc, Writer, Draw, and Impress documents, and the "pictures" cannot be evaluated in any component of OOo.
Writer and Calc can do *calculations* from formulas. This is totally separate from Math and has nothing whatsover to do with Math's display of equations.
Hence the confusion that many people have... similar terms, but totally different uses.
