mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Madhusudan Singh <address@hidden>]

My suggestion - either use LaTeX or use Microsoft Word under Crossover 
Office. 
This interformat conversion process is not a very reliable thing. You could 
use Oo (and my sympathies if you are ultimately forced to use the Microsoft 
Word Equation editor or the Oo version - people who use a lot of math should 
either use LaTeX or TeXmacs) but you will not be able to use EndNote with it 
(there is a web based equivalent called webnote (?) that allows non-Windows 
users to use it).
