> what will be printed. It looks such that you edit
> your document immediately in Preview Window.
> 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.

> Other processors such as Omega may be added in future.
