Hi Siegfried, Uwe,

Thanks for your replies. I know I can type latex directly and get the
result visually. But I could not find a way to go back to the source
after I write a formula the first time. All editing then has to be
done visually, which I personally do not like much. I was wondering if
there was a way to 'toggle' between the visual representation and the
latex source of a formula.

By the way, I'm using version 1.3.7. and I do not seem to have an
entry called 'Source' in the 'View' menu. Is this correct? Anyhow,
Siegfried's workaround does not sound very convenient to me.
Thanks,

Joris
