Howdy,

That would be quite nice; especially since I usually use in-line  
formats in the figures. Hope this isn't asking too much.

I noticed that when playing with it in Create! I thought it was  
pretty neat but I see that there can be problems. Maybe the transfer  
can take place if you close the window or do a Save although I'd  
guess your suggestion would work a bit more automatically.

Here is another pie-in-the-sky wish... Set a separate magnification  
for the ``Preview'' pane. That way the equation can be the correct  
smaller size I need for my figures but I can get a quick magnified  
view of the results in that Preview pane to check it.

How about Cmd-T forcing a ``LaTeXize'' too? I guess I use that more  
that Shft-Cmd-L in TeXShop because I use the engines quite a bit.  
Well, I guess I could do that in the 10.4 System Preferences!

Good Luck,
