\begin{article}

Scientifc Word is `WYSIWYG' \LaTeX\ for Windows.  It was first released
in April 1992 (version 1.0) and runs under MS-Windows 3.0 and higher
(see Figure \ref{sciword}, showing how mathematical expressions are
placed in a document)  UNIX and Mac versions are expected in about 12
months.  The current version is 1.1, including many small improvements
and bug fixes over version 1.0.  It comes with its own implementation of
\LaTeX\ (TurboTex), but can also be used with PC-\TeX, em\TeX, (mu)\TeX,
DVIWINDO and DVIPSONE.  A British English spell checker included, and an
on-line help system.

Features still to be added include: direct table editing; pasting of
graphics from other packages; and a style editor.
