> 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 as Omega may be added in
> future.
>
> It imports:
> EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX,
> MSP, BMP, 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.
