Wait, I think I know the answer. We can do it in OOo Writer with Insert > Formula. Or Insert > Field. I just can't figure out exactly how to do it. A feature matrix looks like (for example): [ +syllabic ] [ -voice ] [ +coronal ] [ +nasal ] The number of lines varies from one feature to a dozen. In this e-mail I used individual brackets for each line, but in real work the sides of the feature matrix should have one tall bracket on each side (like the x-y example on the professor's web page above). I'm off to study Writer's Insert > Formula features to see if I can figure it out. Meantime, if there are any experts here on how to create tall brackets on the sides of a formula, please share! -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
