 >
 >   1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor.
 >      It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed.
 >      It looks such that you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer.
 >   2) It is True LaTeX Editor.
 >      It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure.
 >      It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document.
 >
 >   BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and
 >   consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related
 >   with import graphics, font support, and document export.
 >
 >   It imports:
 >        EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX,
 >        MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY.
 >   It supports fonts:
 >        OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1 (including MM),

 >
 >   It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS
 >   compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as:
 >      Prosper, PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy, etc.
 >
 >   Editing Prosper's slides in WYSIWTYG interface
 >       is one impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'.
 >

 >      final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing.
