One of my colleagues uses a variation of LateX called RevTeX. He once showed me how to use it but it's NOT user-friendly! This is probably all the more so because I am not a computer person.
Aren't there any Mac-native programs out there that can write equations for my research reports? If so, would you mind letting me know? I need one soon. Currently in the process of switching over to a Mac from PC. Until now, I've been using equation editor in Word but everytime I use it, it messes up line spacings. If you have used Equation Editor in Word, then you know what I am talking about.
I have used
MathEQ since it was called
Expressionist. I love it. Way back in the day, I read a review that favored
MathType over
Expressionist (now
MathEQ) because
Expressionist was too exacting. To each his own, I suppose.
MathMagic also seems to set beautiful equations. I would pick it over
MathType.
As for your line spacing issue, I am guessing this is a
Word issue rather than an
Equation Editor issue. To be fair, this is an issue that is generic to word processors. You need a document editor which can constrain line spacing to a fixed value. DTP apps can do this. Word processors, not so much.
FWIW, professional journals that don't require submissions in
TeX format will generally accept
Word documents.
