As MicroIMP grows, more TeX/LaTeX features would be added -- +without any burden on the user. + +(Hardcore TeX users should not disappointed by the above: there +is a way to enter TeX commands and \'s in the document...if you so insist.) + +Overview: + +MicroIMP has a typical Word Processing look and feel: you can enter the +text right away, and use the formatting commands from the menus to change +its appearance. +Most of the menu commands are intuitive and no additional documentation +is needed to explain them. + +MicroIMP features include + +* Full WYSIWYG interface. +* Spelling checker. +* Multiple language support (English, German, Dutch, Italian, French) +* Table of Contents generation. +* Index generation. +* References. +* Accent command support. +* Lists, including itemizing, enumerating and description (build 012). +* Tables. +* Mathematics. +* Equation numbering. +* Box rotation and scaling. +* Graphics inclusion (all common bitmap formats.) +* Trees. +* Hyperlinks. +* Copy/Paste of text (including Unicode), markup, and images. +* Read/Write blocks of text. +* Save as TML (native format), PDF/PS, and LaTeX +* Support for the TeX-standard CM fontset, EC, and a number of alternatives. +* RTF import. diff --git a/systems/win32/microimp/microimp.pdf b/systems/win32/microimp/microimp.pdf Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000000..cfa500aca4 --- /dev/null +++ b/systems/win32/microimp/microimp.pdf |
