Are you aware, that OpenOffice.org has a formula editor? You can find
it in the menu under "Insert > Object > Formula" (or something similar,
I have a German version of OOo). You can use the editor like the one
from Microsoft and click everything together. Or - and if you have many
formulae to write - you might prefer to enter the code for your
formulae with your keyboard. You can enter then something like
sum {1 + 2} over {%pi}
and it will look nice. This second version is much faster and less
tiring then clicking on all the symbols. My husband, who is a
mathematician, prefers the second method. :)
I hope, this is of help for you.
Best regards,
Sigrid Carrera
