I am not sure about word processing (I use Word, which is decent but
not outstanding for equations). There are two excellent econometrics
programs for the MAC, RATS and SHAZAM. RATS has, I think, the better
graphics package, but is somewhat less friendly (though much more
powerful). Both programs are time series oriented, with SHAZAM possibly
being a bit more flexible. RATS is distributed by VAR, somewhere near 
Chicago, and SHAZAM by Ken White, Dept. of Econ., UBC.

I have no connection with either group, other then spending about 5 hours
a day with RATS.
