Sorry we don't much more than "Insrt symbol" for now. Much better equation
support is available in Kword, Lyx and Oppen Office. Of course these three
programs have other problems we don't but they do equations, we don't :-(
If you must use abiword with abiword your only hope is to use another
program to write the equation then take screen shots, turn them into in
images and paste them into abiword. This totally sucks I know.
I hope we will have a decent equation editor by the end of 2002.
Sorry,
Martin
