Scientific Workplace and it's 'Style Editor'

Last update: 2/25/2013

  More findings

  Style Editor enables ones to add styles to your TEX typesetting document by simply bushing buttons, much like what you did in MS Words. You highlight your text or paragraphs and push tool buttons ( can be multiple) on your tool bar to add decorations. So you don't need to type TEX commands every time you want a different style. I believe Style Editor serves this purpose by creating another file called *.sty file and by inserting flags in the original tex files. When SWP compiles the .tex file and reads a flag it will detour to the .sty file where the real formats are saved and apply them. Not super sure about this but we don't really need to know anyway.

How hard is it to drive a F1 car?

From an onboard camera, this shows the start of a F1 race from the driver's aspect. You can sort of feel the subtle reaction of the car when the driver works on tires before the start of the race. Try to feel the surrounding environment passing by and you will get a scene of how fast the car is flying! Also from this film you can kind of feel the G force from acceleration and corning!

Scientific Workplace + Endnote Tricks

Last update 2/13/2013

Share some recent discoveries with the software Scientific Workplace 5.0
  1. To work with Endnote. - this includes adding a 'Label' to the bib file using a convenient small Matlab function and in the Endnote the export 'bibtex style' you can remove the unwanted fields (like the 'note' field) that you don't want it to appreare in the typesetting bibliography library.
 Alright it is time to give the full story. Sorry for the late reply :p! Anyway. I don't know if bibDB in SWP(scientific workplace) fixed this problem yet. If not, then I guess it is still useful for me to write this down for those people fighting with this problem. If they did fix it, that's even better. Actually after I checked Mackichan website I found this written in 2006, which means they haven't fix it or it is still not a complete solution. So I think my post will still be useful.
