I use ONLY WP, however, it does have some bugs in its in-line equation
editor.  Those of you that use WP try to find and use the in-line editor
and report back what problems you find.  When I try to use it I end up
trashing the document as something seems to lock up parts of my
keyboard.  The equation editor works great.  There was a major change in
the latest version of WP and the editor works a lot like the Word
equation editor.
