Publisher's Description
From Trident Software:
Rapid-Pi is an equation editor for Microsoft Word that provides a faster way to edit math in documents. Rapid-Pi allows you to enter mathematical expressions as easy-to-understand text. For example, you can type (y+2)/x^2 to create a fraction with y + 2 in the numerator and x-squared in the denominator. Rapid-Pi was designed with a single purpose in mind - to save you time when editing mathematical formulas, equations, and expressions in documents. Rapid-Pi is an add-on for your existing word processor application (like Microsoft Word), not a stand-alone program. This means that you will continue to use your favorite word processor, inserting Rapid-Pi equations into your document whenever you need to enter math. Inserting a Rapid-Pi equation is easy - just click on the Rapid-Pi button on Microsoft Word's toolbar.

"Great idea but currently lacking essential features"
Version: Rapid-Pi 2.1
Pros
Great design idea, fairly well executed, cheap
Cons
Most obvious con is that there is no facility for numbering and cross-referencing equations and doing this natively in word is a nightmare. Also, equations can't be aligned at = signs. ...among other things.
Summary
Until major omissions and flaws such as those mentioned above are addressed the package is essentially unusable for anything but the most trivial purposes (for which Word's built-in Equation Editor would be just fine). I'm surprised they would ever release it without an equation numbering feature in the first place, and seeing as it's been three years I doubt they will be adding one or really improving much of anything at this point. The software probably still exists only as a cash grab.

"BESTEST APP IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!"
Version: Rapid-Pi 2.01
Pros
Way faster than equation editor, allowed me to get my homework done with time to sleep!
Cons
Wish I would've found this faster
Summary
This application is great. I'm buying it once the trial is over. It's wayyyyyy faster than Equation Editor in Word and the scripting didn't take that long to get used to.

"Troubles printing"
Version: Rapid-Pi 1.53 build 1694
Pros
Interface great for constructing equations. Symbols and letters organized by tabs so they are easy to find. For the most part, I found it easy to use from the startup without having to search the help section too much.
Cons
A major flaw: equations integrated into Word documents will not print correctly. In some cases, symbols replace numbers but most of the time a black-lined bar was printed over the equation. Tried printing on several different printers but still would not print correctly. Tried switching computers a few times but nothing helped. Shame too because the program itself was great. But it does not integrate into Word as well as promised.

"Exactly what I was looking for!!"
Version: Rapid-Pi 1.2
Pros
This is exactly what I was looking for. I can enter any formula I can conceive directly into a Word document and even edit it after it has been entered. It includes all the mathematical symbols I know of, alot I don't know of, and matricies. It has a great user interface in which a formula editor opens directly into Word. I type the formulas in just as I would into my TI-89 calculator. I will definately buy this software. To the publisher I want to say thank you.
Cons
It takes a little bit of time for the formula editer to open in Word, but this is on my small rather slow 700Mhz Laptop.
