Hi Abcdefg
The formula editor is the most difficult one to use.
I just spent over six months typing up formulas for a mathematics tuition
program. I tried quite a few formula editors, and chose OpenOffice.org's.
I suppose I came to the opposite conclusion that you did!
In some sense it looks like word's formula editor, and in some sense it
looks like latex.
For me, that is one of the advantages.
I used Word's formula editor for a while, but it is strictly mouse-only.
When you are typing hundreds of formulas a day, that becomes very tedious!
OpenOffice.org has the point and click advantage that Word has, but as you
click you also see the words and characters to type to create the formula.
So the point an click isn't just for ease of use, it is a teaching tool
for how to type the formulas. And I can definitely say that typing
formulas is significantly quicker than constantly clicking the mouse on
little buttons on a complicated pallette.
Is there any method to input the formula as lyx-gtk does in oO?
I've tried various Lyx programs, but I'm not sure if I've tried lyx-gtk.
How does formula input work on that program, and what are the advantages?
