TeXnicCenter is what we call an integrated documentation environment (IDE) for LaTeX. That means that TeXnicCenter integrates all the functionality you need to create, write, build, fix, view and print your LaTeX documents. TeXnicCenter’s innovative user interface, its powerful features, its large community (more than 1,000,000 users all over the world) and the fact that it is Free Open Source Software (GPL) makes it the first choice for LaTeX authors working on the Windows platform. Read on to learn, what TeXnicCenter can do for you!

Creating new Documents

You often have to create new LaTeX documents? You will love TeXnicCenter. Its powerful template mechanism allows you to define document templates once and create new documents based on these templates by simply choosing the 'New' option from the 'File' menu. The COM-Plug-In mechanism allows every one to implement document wizards. Some quite useful wizards are already available on the internet.
