Scientific Word gives a WYSIWYG-type interface to LaTeX for professional-quality mathematical typesetting; it uses true mathematical notation, so you can compose and edit documents directly at the screen, without thinking in a programming language.
Typesetting Features
- Enter text and mathematics naturally in the same paragraph.
- Format documents easily using tags to define the document structure.

- Generate automatic footnotes, cross-references, indexes, equation numbering, bibliographies, and tables of contents.
- Import LaTeX files produced by other programs.
- Produce portable LaTeX output.
- Export documents to HTML, typeset PDF, DVI and RTF.
- You don't have to learn LaTeX to produce typeset documents. Choose among more than 150 document shells that produce both general purpose documents and documents designed to meet the specific typesetting requirements of many universities and scholarly journals
-
Additional LaTeX Packages: The supplied LaTeX packages provide even more control. By adding packages to your document, you can achieve a variety of typesetting effects. For example, you can add packages that switch between single and multiple columns of text on a single page; create endnotes from footnotes; or govern the appearance of footnotes, including their numbering or symbol scheme.
-
Easy generation of front and back matter: You can create a table of contents easily by inserting a command into the Front Matter section of your document. When you typeset your document, LaTeX automatically generates the table of contents from the section headings you have created. Similarly, you can create an index by inserting index entries throughout your document, and letting LaTeX generate the index pages. An index can have primary, secondary, and tertiary references, and can also point the reader to other entries in the index.
-
Automatic numbering of theorems, lemmas, and other theorem environments: You can number theorems, lemmas, propositions, and conjectures in a variety of styles. You control whether they are each numbered in the same or separate sequences, so that your theorem environments might be numbered as Theorem 1, Lemma 2, Theorem 3, Conjecture 4, Lemma 5..., or as Theorem 1, Lemma1, Theorem 2, Conjecture 1, Lemma 2.... As an option, you can reset the numbering at the beginning of each chapter or section, and you can include the chapter and section numbers in the number.
-
Automatic cross-referencing: You can create automatically generated cross-references to equations, tables, figures, pages, and other numbered objects elsewhere in your document. You don't have to know the object or page number in advance. When you typeset, LaTeX inserts the number of the referenced object in the text.
-
Automatic bibliography generation: Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Word include BibTeX for automatic bibliographies. You select references from a BibTeX database of references, and BibTeX formats them according to the bibliography style you select. Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Word also include tools for the maintenance of the BibTeX database. LaTeX packages such as EndNotes can save references in BibTeX format.
The LaTeX Beamer document class produces presentations, handouts, and transparency slides as typeset PDF files. The class provides global and local control of layout, color, and fonts; a variety of list and list display mechanisms; and many dynamic transitions between slides. Beamer presentations can contain text, mathematics, graphics, and animations.
A single SWP or SW file contains an entire Beamer presentation. You define global formatting with commands in the preamble. You create each slide in the presentation inside frame environments, which are defined with fragments provided as part of the support. Transitions are also defined with fragments.
