 > 
 > BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor.
 > 
 >  The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts:
 > 
 >  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 supports processors:
 >     (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX.
 >     Other processors such as Omega may be added in future.
 >

 >  compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as:
 >     PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy,
 >     PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.
 > 
 >  Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is

 > 
 >  TeXWord is transparent for cooperation.

 >     in TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup without any adaptation.
 >     In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX documents.
 >     So, that your coleagues may even don't know that you use
 >     powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common work.
