Abacus Math Writer

Abacus MathWriter is a tool that is used in conjunction with Microsoft Word or other text editing tools that support bitmap images to produce documents that contains mathematical expressions. Expressions are produced from MathWriter as bitmap images, which may then be imported by Word as "pictures".

MathWriter is operated in two stages: -tthe construction of an expression, on the Construction Panel,and -the conversion of this expression to a bitmap image using the Save Image Panel.

Facilities are provided at each stage for saving the work. Expressions are saved into the " Expressions " sub-folder as *.exp, and images are saved in the "Images" sub-folder as *.bmp.

In order to obtain the best printer resolution, the diagrams are initially constructed on the Construction Panel in large size, and then reduced in size by the Save Image Panel for use in Word.
