Save and Load
The save option in the file menu will allow you to save your current math expression as a '.msw' file in the location of your choice. This file can then be loaded at a different time using the load option in the file menu.

Save as Tex and PDF
This file menu option will open up a save dialog box where you can specify a location and name for your Tex document and PDF. First Math Speak & Write will translate your mathematical expression into Tex and save the file as a legal Tex document. Then, the program pdflatex will be called to translate that document into a PDF. This file will then be displayed in Adobe Acrobat.
If you do not have MikTEX installed, an error dialog box should pop up with the message 'You need to install a LaTex translator'. In this case, the Tex file has still been created but the PDF will not be made. However, you can still edit and use the created Tex file as you wish.

Save as MathML
This option will open up a save dialog box where you can specify a location and name for the html file which will contain a MathML translation of your math expression. First the html file will be created and then it will try to open in Internet Explorer. If you do not have Internet Explorer with the MathPlayer plug-in, the file will not open and display correctly. However, you can still edit and use the file as you wish.
