Product Description

For professional publishing and the power to produce high quality books, technical documents, mathematical formulas, and tables, use PCTeX32 and its supporting products to make your work look its best. PCTeX32 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. PCTeX32 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

PCTeX32 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 PCTeX32:

TeXSpell:

  • TeXSpell is the new integrated spelling checker in PCTeX32. 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 PCTeX32.

SliTeX Fonts:

  • The SliTeX Fonts provide fonts needed for the SliTeX macros in LaTeX, and are used for making overhead transparencies.
