Scientific WorkPlace 5.5
Share your work with everyone
With Scientific Workplace 5, you have new options for sharing your work. It now includes support for pdfTeX. Before passing your file to the pdfTeX processor, Scientific WorkPlace converts all the graphics in your file to a form that can be processed by pdfLaTeX. Also, documents that use the hyperref package produce PDF documents that are fully hyperlinked, with links in the table of contents and with hierarchical bookmarks corresponding to the structure of your LaTeX document. This combination of support for embedded graphics with a large variety of formats and full hyperlinking makes the PDF documents produced by Scientific WorkPlace superior both to the results of pdfLaTeX alone and to the results of Acrobat. When you use pdfTeX to print your document, you can use PostScript-related packages such as rotating or the PSNFSS font packages that were previously unsupported in Scientific WorkPlace.
You can import text (.txt)
and Rich Text Format (.rtf) files, and you can copy content to the
clipboard for export as text or graphics to other applications. You
can create .dvi, .htm, .pdf, or .rtf files from your documents, or generate portable
LaTeX output for seamless transfer to different LaTeX installations.
The Document Manager simplifies file transfer by email or on diskette.
An international audience
Spelling, font, and hyphenation support for languages
other than English is available. You can switch languages in the same
document using Babel, the multilingual LaTeX system. The software supports
input using any left-to-right language supported by a version of Windows,
including Chinese, Japanese, and Russian. It uses the in-place IME
(Input Method Editor) for these languages. (The ability to typeset
a language may depend on the availability of TeX for that language.
Non-Latin character sets are typeset with Lambda, which is included.)
Fully localised Japanese and German versions
of Scientific WorkPlace are available
now through our local distributors.
View over the Web
Scientific WorkPlace has a built-in link to the World Wide Web. If you have Internet access, you can open the file at any URL address from inside the program. Also, you can deliver content via the Web. The software supports hypertext links, so you can facilitate navigation for your readers through a series of related documents. Readers can view and print documents using Scientific Viewer, which we distribute at no cost.
RTF export
Scientific WorkPlace now also exports documents to RTF format for importing into Microsoft Word. The mathematics in your document are converted to Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType 5 format.
