To summarize, +the best answer to the bold greek letters is to simply get and run +amsbsy, that's part of the amslatex distribution. It gives two new +commands: a \boldsymbol that embolden a char in a font having a +correspondent bold-face, and a 'ppor men's bold', that overstrikes a +normal font, emboldening it even if there is not a bold typeface for +printing it. As I got asmlatex, I got many new useful functions, like +an extendable arrow symbol for writing limits, and a couple of new +strange (?bugs?): in the manual, I read that there are a couple of +operator redefining commands, that should make a log-like operator, +with eventual _{text} printed at bottom right of the operator, and a +lim like one, with text printed under the operator. But, in my printed +version, they look exactly the same, and therefore, something is not +doing it job. Furthermore, when I latexed the testmath.tex document, I +got some \i command undefined in math mode, about lines containing a +\begin or a \end... Are those signs of an incompatible behavior of + +a) the latex release of december'95 and amslatex +b) TeX 3.1415 and the other programs +c) the test documents, and amslatex (sure enough, I'm joking here!) + +Now, I'm crying for help another time: You know, I was writing down +some lecture notes for a course I attended In march, and I started +using latex after a disaster with the copy of word on the computer I +used: the equation editor suddenly decided not to run anymore. Now, I +have half of my work in Latex, and another half in Word 6 format. Is +there anybody who does know how to convert the latter? I read, in the +documentation about programs on ctan, that such a program cannot be +public domain... But does there exist a commercial program doing the +job? If it does exist, does some of you own a copy of it, and can be +so nice to let me send him my document, and convert it for me? + +I'll be, as usual, grateful 'till the end of my life to anybody +helping me.
