    I think it can be used best by academic writers. But then what is the difference between writing equations between pagemaker and normal MSword. Are these applications only available in 2007 and above versions?

      To be honest, I’ve never used pagemaker! but answers.com tells me that PageMaker is a layout program whereas MS Word is a word processor. Therefore Word is better at correcting mistakes whereas PageMaker is better at putting text where you want it on a printed page.

      And, It’s not an app but just a feature that’s available in Word 2007 and 2010.
