Product Description
For professional publishing and the power to produce
high quality books, technical documents, mathematical formulas, and
tables, use PCTeX6 and its supporting products to make your work look
its best. PCTeX6 provides a complete TeX, LaTeX, and AMS-TeX
typesetting system in one product. TeX is a precise scientific,
mathematical, and general use, programmable, typesetting macro, on
which all other TeX macros are based. LaTeX is a widely used enhanced
macro containing formats for books, manuals, technical documents, and
tables. AMS-TeX was created by the American Mathematical Society
especially for mathematicians. PCTeX6 for Windows provides a completely
integrated TeX and LaTeX system for professional typesetting of books,
technical journals, and other documents, in Microsoft Window's
environments.
Principal Characteristics
Typesetting
PCTeX6 excels at typesetting:
- Short papers, or books with hundreds of pages
- Scientific notation and mathematical formulas
- Documents with perfect word and letter spacing
- Text with complex hyphenation
- Foreign languages
Also Included with PCTeX6:
TeXSpell:
- TeXSpell is the new integrated spelling checker in PCTeX6. It
has a standard dictionary of 80,000 words, and includes the facility
for a custom, editable dictionary. It can also ignore TeX commands, TeX
comments, math mode blocks, will detect repeated words, and has an
option to automatically save a backup of your text file if spelling
changes have been made.
AMS-Fonts:
- These fonts, defined in AMSTeX, were designed by the American
Mathematical Society for use in mathematical documents. They contain
symbols and several beautiful alphabets corresponding to those used in
AMS publications and the MathSci database. They are supplied in True
Type format for use with PCTeX6.
SliTeX Fonts:
- The SliTeX Fonts provide fonts needed for the SliTeX macros in LaTeX, and are used for making overhead transparencies.
What’s New in PCTeX6
 Page Style Wizard * Professional Only *
The
Page style Wizard allows easy configuration of font size, paper size,
equation numbering, and any other available options. The wizard can
currently configure the standard LaTeX styles, and also AMS,
KOMA-script, memoir and beamer (slide presentations).
 Package Options Wizard * Professional Only *
The Package Options Wizard displays a
list of all available LaTeX packages. These may be sorted by Name,
Title, or Category. Once a package has been selected, the Package
Options Wizard will allow configuration of all available options.
 Graphics Wizard * Professional Only *
The Graphics Wizard allows easy sizing
and placement of graphics images into your documents. Choose Insert
Graphic and the wizard will allow you to configure your graphics and
the wizard will add the necessary graphics commands and parameters to
the preamble. The Graphics Wizard will also automatically convert
graphics files to the formats needed for regular TeX output or for PDF
output.
 Language Wizard
The
Language Wizard will select languages to be used in your documents, and
the appropriate hyphenation patterns will be installed in the LaTeX
format. The spell check word list for that language will be used in the
editor as well.
 LaTeX Command Completion
When you begin typing,
PCTeX will complete recognized LaTeX commands automatically. If there
is more than one command that starts with the same characters, you will
be presented with a dropdown list of commands.
PDF and DVI typesetting and viewing
Choose to typeset and view your document
as a DVI or a PDF. The typeset mode is saved with each project. This is
useful, for example, if one project works better in PDF mode and
another in DVI mode.
Spell check as you type
PCTeX
uses a well-known spell checker (ISpell) to check spelling as you edit.
Once you have typed a word, it will spell-check it and highlight the
word if misspelled. There are word lists available in several
languages.
Just-in-Time Package Loader
As you typeset a LaTeX file, and a
package or file is discovered missing, the Just-in-time (JIT) installer
will automatically fetch the package, install it and typeset again.
View Documentation
The Package Manager, the Insert Package
dialog, and the Documentclass dialog all have a View Documentation
button to allow viewing of package documentation.
Insert Menu
This new menu item provides some automatic editor insertions for graphics, lists, languages, and packages.
Vertical scrolling in DVI viewer
The dvi viewer will display pages that can be scrolled vertically, similar to Acrobat Reader.
