I just received my copy of Scientific Word this week. I like what I have found thus far, but it is too early to give a true evaluation. Important: Scientific Word is *NOT* a WYSIWYG front end! TCI gives a very persuasive argument for why one WOULD NOT want to use a WYSIWYG. Scientific Word is a Windows GUI that includes a structure-oriented (LaTeX) editor, a Windows version of TeX (called TurboTeX), a previewer, and a print manager (that usurps the Windows Print Manager). The argument is that a structure-oriented editor plus a previewer is superior to a WYSIWYG editor.
