Notes on Scientific Word
Important Note:  In Scientific Word version 3.0 and up there are two different ways to view and print information:  with and without typesetting the document.  The term style refers to the screen display.  The screen display can be printed (i.e. without typesetting) by using the File … Preview/Print commands.  Printing using these commands will not include LaTEX functions such as cross-references, table of contents, automatic numbering and will not have typesetting functions such as hyphenation and kerning.
The following assumes that you wish to typeset your documents before printing.  To do this you print using the Print command under the Typeset menu.  Your typesetting specification (which used to be called style in old versions of Scientific Word) is determined by the shell you choose when creating a new document.
1.  To change the font size throughout the document:  Go to  Typeset … Options & Packages… Class Options … Modify … Body text point size and choose your font size.  For local changes in the body of your text, highlight the text and use the third pop-up menu at the bottom of the screen to select a size (e.g. "tiny", "small", "large", etc).
2.  To change margins:  Go to Typeset … Preamble.  Move the cursor to the bottom of the text and type:
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in}  to set the left margin to 1 inch
\setlength{\textwidth}{6.5in} 
\setlength{\textheight}{8.8in} 
\setlength{\topmargin}{0in}  to set the top margin to 1 inch
\setlength{\headheight}{0in}  to set the height of every page's header to 0
\setlength{\headsep}{0in}  to set the header-bodytext distance to 0
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.2} see 3 below
3.  To change the line spacing in the body of your paper, go to Insert … Field … Tex and in the box that appears use the LaTEX command:
\setlength{\baselineskip}{24pt}  or
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{2}\small\normalsize
When the setting for \baselineskip is 24 point, a 12pt font will be double spaced. \baselinestretch is the factor by which the \baselineskip is multiplied, so 2 gives double spacing.  Within the body of the paper \baselinestretch takes effect only after the font has been changed:  the commands \small\normalsize allow it to take effect without changing the size of a normalsize font.  Since every font has a default \baselineskip, \baselinestretch tends to override LaTEX's typesetting abilities less than \baselineskip.  Each of these commands will affect all text that follows until a new \baselineskip or \baselinestretch command is set.
4. Paragraph formatting can be changed either for the whole document in the Preamble or locally until the next setting using Insert … Field … Tex. 
\setlength{\parindent}{0em}   no first line paragraph indent
\setlength{\parskip}{1ex plus0.5ex minus0.2ex}
           The extra line spacing between paragraphs can vary between 0.8 and 1.5ex.
An "em"("ex") varies with the font and is the width(height) of an M(x).
5. Page numbering: Insert … Field … Tex and enter
\pagenumbering{arabic} to restart numbering with 1 in arabic numbers
\setcounter{page}{1} will reset counter to 1 without changing number format
In place of "arabic" enter "roman" for lower case Roman numerals and "Roman" for upper case Roman numerals.
6. To create a title and abstract:  Go to Typeset … Front Matter.  Use the Item Tag Popup List (the first popup list at the bottom of the screen) to insert the Title, Author, Date, etc. fields and the relevant entries.  Insert the Make Title field.  Insert the Abstract field, followed by your abstract.
7. To create a Manual Bibliography in an article, at the end of the paper use the Item Tag Popup List at the bottom of the screen to insert a Bibliography Item field. (Scientific Word will automatically name this section “References.”)  In the dialog box that appears, the Key is what you will type to reference this cite.  The Label is what you want Scientific Word to place in brackets when you reference this cite.  Type the complete citation after the BibItem field box.

To reference an item within the body of your paper, go to Insert … Field … Citation, and in the dialog box that appears type the Key for your citation.
