I create slides in EXP and print them to PDF for presentation. I had been wondering about putting on a background. Here are 2 approaches: A. Using EXP 1. In...
I traditionally use EXP to produce PDF slides and here is what I do. I print to FinePrint (www.fineprint.com and it has a special academic price) through which...
The slide creation is not an issue. I have been doing that for several versions of EXP and have a slide template and macros - though I could improve those. The...

Simply put the page number in the header or footer as desired. That is the same as in WORD. WORD does have some weird way of letting you select right, center,...

Simon: Hi, I am Professor Ravi Kalia. Can I get academic discount? I read your response about cost of EXP. MS Word Standard costs $130 for Teachers. I met you...
Ravi yes, you can open EXP v.3 with EXP v 5.1. You might download the EXP Viewer to verify that. All the formatting in a v.3 document is maintained in v. 5.1. ...

A viewpoint about compatibility, particularly with MikTeX: If you look at Scientific Wplace (from what I have seen), it is not a simple front-end for LaTeX....
Bill: Your comments are very pertinent and answer a lot of questions that I have. Scientific Workplace has one advantage for me in that I can write solutions...
You can import previous versions of EXP into the current version (EXP 5.1, SP2), but importing LaTeX is still simply as text. In the latter case, you would...
Ravi, Thanks for your continued interest in EXP. Other people have already answered some of your questions, but I'll answer the remaining ones. (1) There is no...

Such a need is not really suited directly in EXP or any word processor. It is a graphic layout request. I use TOPDraw for such items, for which that would be a...
Peter, As Bill suggested, other software will do this. I used Open Office (beta, v 1.9) to do the angled text in the test I created. Look at the link. If you...
