Whoever Trashed the Equation Editor Should Look at MathCAD

[Hunky Chunky Funk Dunky]

Who made the Equation Editor virtually impossible to use?

The eedjit who trashed this is obviously not a scientist, mathematician or
engineering.

Example, try entring the Navier-Stokes conservation of momentum equations in
less that two hours

It has got to be the most appauling UI ever designed.

Mathcad is light years ahead with a few additional toobars that can be
parked - undocked - where I need them and always ready to use

I for one will be going back to Office 2000 which has a far superior
Equations Editor and so I'm told does Office 2003

The earlier equation editor is included with Office 2007 but not installed
by default.

If you have MathCAD and Word 2007, why not combine the best of two worlds?
Type your equations in MathCAD and copy/paste them into Word 2007. Both
MathCAD and Word 2007 'speak' MathML, so there shouldn't be any problem
moving information between the two of them.

That said, if you are serious about inserting math equations directly in
Word 2007, you should check out the linear format and the Math AutoCorrect
options instead of toying around with UI. Note that most of the autocorrect
entries are the names of the symbols as specified by the unicode standard.
So you probably already know them.
