How about forgetting the ms programs altogether? I remember reading that serious academics use latex for math symbols and technical documents. As per this quote I found when googling for the original article (which I couldn't find again): "Lyx is a front end to LaTeX. It is great for producing academic documents, writing school projects, etc, all of those things that require a document nicely laid out. It uses LaTeX, which is THE standard in math academia, so it is great for producing documents with a lot of math symbols (MUCH better than any of those rubbishy equation editors that come with most word processors... this one is the "REAL THING" ). And, of course, it's free. This package is my pick for producing technical documents." Maybe check it out and convert your supervisor to linux!
