Hi Doug,

Thanks very much, I see it now.

Also, I have discovered by typing '\eqarray' and space, you can format
equations with ='s signs lining up similar to how you would with LaTeX.
(These latex-style auto completes are a really good idea!). Also, while there
seemed to be a limitation on size of matrices, I have found this can be
overcome by typing the equations in 'linear' mode, and then switching back to
professional viewing.

If you have the equations following one another with only a end of paragraph
mark (ΒΆ) separating them so that you can select them all and nothing else,
then you right click, there is an item on the right click menu for aligning
the equations at the = sign.

Invoking this feature results in the paragraph mark after the first equation
being replace by a new line character and the resulting single paragraph is
formatted as "justified"

Funny things start to happen if you then try to insert additional line
breaks between the equations to add some text in between.

Note however, that under the "Text" chunk on the Insert tab, you can select
OLE Object (the bottom right hand icon in the chunk) and via that, you can
insert a Microsoft Equation 3.0 object. That may allow you to retain the
old functionality.
