I've been trying SciWord recently after experiencing some disappointments
with AmiPro (a Lotus product).  The company, TCI, that created SciWord
also did the mathematics editor imbedded in AmiPro, so SciWord and
the AmiPro math editors are quite similar.  My biggest difficulty with
SciWord is graphics.  SciWord does permit importing graphics .EPS files,
but does not handle them well in my experience.  I have not been able to
place a graphic at a specified location in the document, and graphics
cannot be scaled -- or at least I haven't been able to accomplish this.

I'm interested in hearing the experience of others in using graphics
in SciWord documents.  Has anyone tried using LaTex graphics procedures
such as PSFIG.STY?
