Depends on which documents but you don't want any other output
than that from LaTeX. This is the true math standard. You can
convert to Postscript, PDF, bitmap from there and thus include
it in any other doc format.

I was being very ambiguous the first time and I apologise. The problem is that I have some readily written texts in Windows doc format which contain mathematical formulas and I need to be able to read them.


I think you need Open Office.  emerge openoffice or emerge openoffice-bin.  The last one is a binary version, no long compile times.  I don't know your machine but I have a AMD 2500+ with 1GB of ram.  It takes about 7 1/2 hours for me.  Your mileage may vary.
