Find and replace in Word 2003 is powerful than the documentation indicates. Yup, the documentation sucks. Fortunately, I found this wonderful guide
Search for line breaks in wildcard searches: use ^13 in the Find box but then make sure to use ^p in the Replacebox (otherwise, an invalid character that looks like a paragraph mark, but isn’t, will be inserted.) Search for one or more characters in wildcard searches: use the \@ shortcut. However, note that this does NOT work with whitespace — you’ll have to use {1,}.
Search for whitespace: [ ^t]{1,}

In my job, we work in Microsoft Word and MathType. But as any geek will tell you, “Word (and MathType) suck.” So I started editing in Emacs and AucTeX and then importing into MathType.
AucTeX is a little too powerful for my needs. I don’t really use LaTeX to typeset documents— I just use LaTeX for math equations. AucTeX, however, is an editing mode for LaTeX. Like other programming modes, it doesn’t let you do things like insert tabs (which I often need to do — I’m sure there’s a workaround but my emacs kung fu is a little rusty).
AucTeX also won’t let you work with a plain text file, so you’ll need to wrap your document in this:
\documentclass[12pt]{article} \begin{document} Your document. \end{document}
In the windows version, unless I’m misunderstanding how equation previews work, preview at point does NOT work. When you preview at point, equations are rendered all over the place. However, preview document works fine in windows with its obvious disadvantage — for long documents or slow computers, you’ll be waiting a long time for the preview. Oh and if you’re a fan of longlines-mode, it doesn’t work with AucTeX. (Note that you don’t need this mode if you’re working with pure LaTeX — I do need it, though.)
Despite the whining, AucTeX is awesome. It’s definitely going to become part of my work flow.

I’ve been trying to get emacs with AucTeX to run on my windows machine. Emacs is the swiss-army knife of text editors. AucTeX is an emacs module that allows you to work with LaTeX in an almost WYSIWYG way. Unfortunately, so far, it’s not working. <!--break--> As per the installation instructions for windows, you first install MikTeX, Ghostscript and emacs, followed by a simple unpacking of the AucTeX files into the emacs directory.
If only it were that easy. Unfortunately, the version of windows that’s supposed to work with AucTeX doesn’t work with AucTeX — DOH! The reason is that it doesn’t come with the libraries for working with images. As per the README file, you need libpng. After installing this library, I got a new type of error — the rendered equations were all over the place! I also tried another version emacs, NTemacs and got the same problem.
Will report back later. Over and out. LOL

I found a Maxima mode for emacs the other day: Imaxima. Installing it on Windows was actually a snap. There are easy to follow instructions for running Imaxima on your Windows box. It uses LaTeX to render equations. <!--break--> The only drawback is that Imaxima’s interface is similar to wxMaxima’s old one-line-at-a-time interface. You can only work on one line at a time. You can’t scroll up and down to edit previous input. In other words, even though the interface looks like a notebook, it’s really not. It’s more like a bash shell.
Other than that, you get the power of both Emacs and Maxima. Enjoy!
