Latex Rendering Software: Finding the Right One

In summary, the individual is looking for a software that can render LaTeX similar to what is used on a specific forum. They have tried several options but have not been satisfied with the results. They mention using LaTeX for integrals, matrices, and fractions, but not for exponents and subscripts. They also mention wanting to use a software similar to MS Word for writing documents, but have had issues with the equation editor producing unsatisfactory results. The individual is recommended to try using LyX, which they have now downloaded and found to be exactly what they need.

I don't use anything - I just type what I want in LaTeX directly into the text window. I use LaTeX mostly just for integrals and matrices, and sometimes when I want fractions to look nice.

I normally don't use LaTeX for exponents and subscripts - I use BB tags that you can get from the extended menu when you click Go Advanced.

No.I'm talking about a windows binary software(Not sure what this means ).
I want to write a document in something like MS word.The problem with MS word is that it's equation editor produces ugly letters.
For example,I want to write a letter to the president and to include a nice equation in it and print it on a paper.
