Has any one used this software? if so, could you please .... Yes I've been using it. It seems to have all of the capacity of LaTeX under an experienced TeX user (that is for a beginer). Basically it is a scientific word processor that translates a document into TeX. The .... Now the downside. Sci-Word supports an unusually small number of printers. I don't know if it supports external drivers or not, however if you have a Hewlet-Packard Laser, or Post Script you'll be OK, other than that you have a few (literally) other drivers. Fortunately, it is easy to link to DVIWindo from Scientific Word, and DVIWindo can drive anything with a Windows printer driver, including HP, IBM, dot-matrix, PS, even some fax boards. And with ATM 2.5, driving an HP printer is much faster than it used to be. Disclaimer: respondent has connections with Y&Y Berthold K.P. Horn Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
