General improvement in BaKoMa TeX 8.10 is caching included graphics and slide background (PowerDot package). This feature improves editing/browsing documents with many included figures. This feature is supported in TeXWord and DVI Viewer.
Caching is enabled by default.
Caching imported graphics and slide background may be enabled/disabled independently by new options of <b>View</b> menu:
- 'Use Imported Graphics Cache' - new option. This feature enables caching graphics imported by includegraphics. It is nice choose instead of disabling imported images or draft option.
- 'Use Slide Background Cache (PowerDot)' - new option. This feature enables caching slide background drawn by presentation
packages. Currently, this feature has effect only for PowerDot package.
- 'Imported Graphics Appearance' - renamed 'Figures/Bounding Boxes'. It was renamed to be more consistent with new options.

About BaKoMa TeX Word.
BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts:
It is True WYSIWYG Editor. It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed. It looks such that you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer.
It is True LaTeX Editor. It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure. It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document.
BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related with import graphics, font support, and document export.
It supports processors: (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX. Other processors such as Omega may be added in future.
It imports: EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY. It supports fonts: OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1 (including MM), PostScript Type 3, and TeX PK/VF. It exports: DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and HTML (TeX4HT).
It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as: PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy, PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.
Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing.
Editing slides in WYSIWYG interface (with such packages as PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.) is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'.
TeXWord dramatically simplifies editing complex formulas and tables.
TeXWord is transparent for cooperation. TeXWord don't use additional macro packages. It uses only standard LaTeX packages, so that documents made up in TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup without any adaptation. In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX documents. So, that your coleagues may even don't know that you use powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common work.
Beginner users of LaTeX may consider TeXWord as good start point for learning LaTeX together with writing papers.
