Categories:How to import documents from Scientific Word/Scientific Workplace (SWP) into LyX. Importing Scientific Word/Scientific Workplace (hereinafter SWP).tex files into LyX is relatively straightforward. The particular procedure that works as of 22 December 2007 (LyX 1.5.3) is provided below.
MacKichan Software offers Scientific WorkPlace, Scientific Word, and Scientific Notebook. You write text and mathematics in your document without having to know a programming language or exit to an equation editor. Evaluate, simplify, solve, and plot functions without the need to master a. In Scientific Workplace 5.5, hitting the preview button, without compiling produces a handout format. Of course this may not be what you are looking for but this is what I get: The preview obtained is: The above document is created by default under FILE > NEW > Other Documents > Slides Beamer.
Before proceeding, one should consider the issue of included graphics files. One of the allures of SWP, working under MS Windows, has been the ready cutting-pasting of Windows metafiles (.wmf,.emf) via the clipboard, out from some application, as figures into one's document. This, plus punching out the final PDF, could be done without the aggravation of first putting figures into EPS (encapsulated postscript) format, as is the standard handling practice for most other LaTeX setups. With the advent of LyX 1.5 and the contributed metafile2eps utility, one can continue this lazy practice, as the combo will auto-render.wmf that are included in the document, and auto-convert to EPS when time for PDF output. However, metafile2eps is also great as a standalone utility for converting.wmf into EPS. If one collaborates with others possessing vanilla LaTeX setups and/or on linux, one will need to exchange figures in EPS format.
So undertaking such conversions up-front is likely advisable.
