As I noted on the Nature blog post on this, MS has also gotten the new citation and bibliographic support wrong. While nice from a UI standpoint and fine for students, it won't work for many real-world scholarly uses because the fields only remain live within the Word 2007 universe. So if I use Word 2004 and my colleague uses Word 2007, we cannot collaborate. Even worse, the citations my colleague adds to their document show up as plain when I open it open on Word 2004.

I've heard the technical explanations from MS for why this is the case, but I don't find them compelling; it seems to me to have been a (bad) business decision.

Hello Sargent, I have a problem with equations in word 2007, and donn't know if it's proper to post here.

When I paste equations of word 2007 into Mindmapper, some characters, such as

\hbar, show as "?", even through I changed the font to Cambria math. Pasting

equations into other OLE supported software have similar problem. Why?

Zhang Jianfa: Sounds like a Unicode issue to me. While OLE should be able to transfer Unicode your program you paste into must be able to handle it; if not, characters are converted to a near equivalent, if present in the current codepage or ? if they aren't.

Murray Sargent: I'd love to see Math support in all Office applications as well ... I've used Word 2007 last term to write my notes for a math lecture and it worked remarkably well (except numerous crashed when using backspace in math zones) but for example charts cannot contain math in their text areas so when I needed them I had to create a Word text area on top of the chart and hope it doesn't get thrown around by layout (as happened to images in previous versions frequently -- didn't try in 2007 whether it still happens :)

Does anyone know how can I open an XML file containing mml:math tags and view and edit it in word 2007? (edit the equations)
