George, Unfortunately I'm on a Macbook, so no Appleworks. I did have it on my old powerbook but that has been sold off. :(
But from your suggestion I did find out that the copy of MS Office I have on this machine has a program called Equation Editor as well, and did just what I was looking for. I have pretty much abandoned Office for Pages '08 for all of my note taking, paper writing, etc. but this little program with help out with my stats courses. I am able to lay out the equation just how I want it, 'select all' and copy it directly into pages. It shows up as a graphic, but it's a vector image so it can be scaled as large or small as I need it! thanks! If only they would implement this into pages/numbers...
