Use AppleScript to ease Greek, super/subscripts in Word
Authored by: frgough on Oct 27, '08 06:30:10PM

Riiiight.

Because it's so much easier and quicker during class to write:

$\epsilon$

PDF it so you can get it in human readable form, edit the file again to make it $\Epsilon$ then pdf it again and find out you left the left bracket out of 45${\circ}$, so make that change and PDF again...

In case you hadn't noticed, people who preach that hand-coding markup language to create formatted text annoy the h*ll out of me. Computers were created precisely to automate this sort of crap so I DON'T have to do it.

I hate to generalize, but only an idiot would recompile any kind of source file (LaTeX, C, Java, etc.) that frequently.
