-------------------- About BaKoMa TeX 7.10 ------------------

BaKoMa TeX 7.10 supports two coexisting IDE:

1. BaKoMa TeX Word - True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor [New in V 7.0].
2. Text Editor + DVI Viewer - Clasical IDE.

About BaKoMa TeX Word.

BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.

The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts:

1. 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.
2. 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 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: Prosper, PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy, etc.

Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing.

Editing Prosper's slides in WYSIWYG interface is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'.
