It also allows for the creation of projects to organize and access the sections and environments of documents, and to insert a bibliography (using [[Software:BibTeX|BibTeX]]) and an index (using [[Software:MakeIndex|MakeIndex]]).  TeXnicCenter was first released in 1999 by Sven Wiegand,<ref>{{Cite web

== Interoperability ==
TeXnicCenter has been designed to work with the [[Software:MiKTeX|MiKTeX]] distribution. After installation, TeXnicCenter recognizes MiKTeX and sets up the paths to command-line compilers bundled with MiKTeX automatically. Similarly, [[Software:Adobe Acrobat|Adobe Acrobat Reader/Professional]] or [[Software:Foxit Reader|Foxit Reader]], when available, is configured as a viewer for the generated PDF documents. TeXnicCenter can tell Acrobat to close an opened PDF file before recompiling it with LaTeX using [[Dynamic Data Exchange]] calls.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACOverview.pdf | title=Acrobat Interapplication Communication Overview | publisher=Adobe Solutions Network | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051225124122/http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACOverview.pdf | archivedate=2005-12-25 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url=http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACReference.pdf | title=Acrobat Interapplication Communication Reference | publisher=Adobe Solutions Network | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060208061726/http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/sdk/pdf/iac/IACReference.pdf | archivedate=2006-02-08 }}</ref>
