I have been used StarOffice since the release of version 5.0. then moved to
OpenOffice. One of the things that did not change is the Math Editor. Although I
like the Command method of input, it is not enough in terms of lack of some
features.
1. It lacks some symbols or operators and a problem of spacing if you try to
type them directly. Take this example and see the spacing:
y'''_{t+1} = x"*"_{t} + e_{t+1}
Notice the spacing for superscript {'''}. This is a symbol for the third
derivative.. The prime symbols are far from each other. The second issue the
location of the subscript {t or t+1}. These subscripts belong to the variables y
and x and therefore should be very close to these variables. Their location
should be aligned with or below the superscript.
2. The second feature would be a great enhancement is the ability to align two
equations to a character or "=". I am doing that manually. MS Equation 3.0
allows you to do that. Latex allows you to do that. Here is an example that
needs manual alignment:
y_{t+1}= a + b x_t + e_{t+1}
newline
x_t = f x_{t-1} + c q_t + %eta_t
3. The third feature is to add "copy", "cut" "paste" functionality to the
right-hand button of the mouse.
I checked OpenOffice 1.9 m74. I found no change to the math editor which is
disappointing. I asked these features when I tested StarOffice 6.0. Two versions
later nothing has changed since, except for the math format and some cosmatic
things.
