Font styles for a table of contents and formatting

ELSID · ‎Mar 18, 2011

Maybe change gears a little.

I love MathCAD, but hate the formating/documentation for formal write ups.

As others have mentioned, being able to use font styles for a table of contents, split the screen, and just flat out format a document.

I understand MathCAD is a tool, so I suggest making MathCAD integrate with a word processor.

this would pre-empt items like Microsoft Mathematics from eating into MathCADs core users ... students who stick to a particular software when they graduate

This will be a logical "add-on" for Microsoft Mathematics to expand into.

There are a few "free" word processor/office suites that this could be implemented on (Open Office, LibreOffice, etc) or you could license the technology

Writing a paper and I have to meet the requirements set forth by the graduate committee. They specify font, style, format ... which is ALL based on word processor styles.

I second this.

Mathcad can integrate with Microsoft Word. You can either paste the Math regions into Word or insert a Mathcad Component inside Word and run the live file inside Word. This way you can stick to the requirements of the graduate committee.
