Math & Science ⇒ How to align all math around "=" throught an entire document

[niek]

Dear all,

I am working on a report which includes quite a lot of (simple) equations. I would like to align all these equations around the = sign throughout the entire document, with the = sign on the same position every time. The problem is that there are regular text areas between the equations, and I don't know how to deal with that.

Ideally, this is what the document should look like:

Some text here...
#### X + Y = Z
####### Z = A + B
Some more text here...
####### A = B - C

(The #-signs represent blank spaces.)

I hope someone can help me out with this, or perhaps provide me with a nice alternative!


Thanks,

Niek

You could take a look at the user guide for the amsmath-package. It's in there.

edit:
Sorry, I think I misunderstood. If you meant to align all equations from your document, I don't think the amsmath-package will do it.
