One way to place equations in Pages documents
Authored by: ge_april on Sep 30, '07 04:38:11PM

To those who worry about the Intel Macs being unable to run the equation editor, I must point out that there is a carbon version of that editor, which also came with Appleworks. That works fine, and since it is not really a CPU intensive application, the performance reduction is not noticeable. Thank God for Rosetta!

The Equation editor also allows the user to specify the actual font sizes for all functions (EquationEditorMenu>Size>Define), so they do not have to be resized, it is just nice that they can be.

And I agree that word processors should handle (and number) equations in some user friendly way, but I am not holding my breath, and since I am getting on a bit, I'd rather do that by hand than learn to use some new powerful tool. You heard about old dogs and new tricks ;-!
