Experiences and comments are welcome. > 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?
