Thanks for your reply Paul!

I had been hoping that MS would let them selves be inspired by OO and take a refreshing step back from the WYSIWYG consept (in the equation editor specifically), and I can't imagine anyone thinking that would be an intrusion on Intellectual Property. In my opinion WYSIWYG is an intrinsically flawed approach towards equation editing.

I believe I must clarify myself regarding my questions. The symbols I'm trying to produce look a bit like "<=>" and "=>", and mean "equivalent to" and "gives" respectively. The symbols that actually are "<", "=" and ">" can indeed be produced by typing them.
