How to install new document class in BaKoMa TeX ?

Installing new LaTeX classes/styles may be done in 2-3 simple steps:
  1. Copy all files bundled with LaTeX document class into LOCAL tree according to standard TDS. Most common files should be placed as:
    TeX Macro Files:
    • *.TEX, *.CLS, *.STY, *.FD -> LOCAL/tex/latex/package/
    PostScript Files: (such as PSTricks prologs)
    • *.PRO -> LOCAL/dvips/package/
    MakeIndex and BibTeX Styles:
    • *.IST -> LOCAL/makeindex/package/
    • *.BST -> LOCAL/bibtex/bst/package/
    Font Files:
    • *.PFB -> LOCAL/fonts/Type1/vendor/fontfamily/
    • *.TFM -> LOCAL/fonts/tfm/vendor/fontfamily/
    • *.VF -> LOCAL/fonts/vf/vendor/fontfamily/
    • *.ENC -> LOCAL/dvips/fontfamily/ or LOCAL/fonts/enc/dvips/fontfamily/
    • *.MAP -> LOCAL/dvips/fontfamily/ (Optional)
    Replace 'package' by name of the package. Replace 'vendor' by name of company or font designer (use `public' name for public domain and TeX fonts), and 'fontfamily' by family of supplied fonts. In fact, you can choose arbitrary names.
  2. Rebild ls-R file in LOCAL directory tree.
    Open dialog 'Options/Common Settings/Directories', select '$TEXMFLOCAL' entry in list, click [(Re)Build ls-R] button.
  3. If your document class includes additional font files you should import MAP file by using dialog opened by 'Options/Common Settings/Install Fonts' menu command. In the dialog, click [?] button for more information, and click [Install DVIPS font MAP file...] button to install fonts.

How to edit german, french, spanish, polish, ... documents in TeXWord ?

To edit european language documents in TeXWord you should carefully set some parameters. When you create new document from template, these parameters are set properly. However, manually created documents may have not ideal parameters.
Font Encoding: european languages should be prepared with fonts in T1 encoding. Check it! Insert \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} into document preamble. When such document is edited in TeXWord font encoding should be set properly in dialog 'Options/TeX Running parameters' - 'Internal TeX Encoding'. Modern versions of TeXWord check this parameter automatically and suggest user to change it properly.
Input Encoding: choose proper input encoding in 'Options/TeX Running parameters'.
NOTE: All central european (matched CP1250) languages, and two western languages (german, french) require using inputenc or TCX.

Using inputenc: 

\usepackage[cp1252]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
% Note: Options/TeX Running Parameters ...
%       Document Input Encoding = CP1252
%       Internal TeX Encoding 	= T1
%   [ ] Perform Conversion between Input and Internal (TCX OFF)
Using TCX: 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[german]{babel}
% Note: Options/TeX Running Parameters ...
%       Document Input Encoding = CP1252
%       Internal TeX Encoding 	= T1
%   [X] Perform Conversion between Input and Internal (TCX ON)

How to see document outline (table of contents) at left ?

Use hyperref package. Insert into document preamble (in source window) '\usepackage{hyperref]' and then click 'View/Refresh' (F5) command to build document outline.

Where is 'File/Save As ...' command in TeXWord ?

TeXWord do not support 'Save As' command for entire LaTeX document, because of multi-file nature of LaTeX documents. However, you can save any source file under another name by using 'Save As' command available in source window context menu (To see it click right mouse button in source window).

Why 'File/Save All' menu command of TeXWord do not save LOG file ?

TeXWord saves only completed (closed by TeX) files. However, LOG file is never closed by TeX engine running under TeXWord. In this reason saving LOG file from under TeXWord is impossible.
So, to generate LOG file you should run TeX from Centaur or command line.

Why vertical scroll bar scrolls page but not entire doc ?

It is because TeXword don't know number of pages in your document. TeXWord do not process entire document. Commonly, document is processed only up to visible page. This approach increases performance of editing LaTeX document. In this reason, we are not planning to change it in future.

How to improve TeXWord responcivity ?

In some cases TeXWord may have long delay between click and view. There are two main cases of slow down.
  1. too complex macros or too heavy page
  2. imported heavy graphics by using \includegraphics command.
In first case, we can suggest only to buy more modern computer or edit such pages by using Centaur text editor.

For second case, we have several efficient recomendations to improve responce.

  • Check that Page cache is enabled. check that image cache is enabled.
  • Some types of images (WMF) avoids caching In this case you can disable drawing imported images by using menu option: 'View/Import Graphics Appearance/BBox Only'.
