Gotchas
Microsoft Equation Editor and PDFs Microsoft Equation Editor (Office 2003 and earlier) may
encounter problems when creating PDF; equations may appear garbled onscreen or when printed out as a PDF. Use a different equation editing tool. Use Microsoft Equation Editor to create the equations, but then
create a screenshot of each equation, and insert it as an image in your document.
Office 2007: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA012303611033.aspx
Notes for LaTeX Users DVIPDFM (a DVI to PDF translator) is included in major TeX
