exactly :) - that's exactly my problem. if you keep adding scanned
images, schemes and charts, the doc format keeps messing aroudn and
you end up with a 400mb file that takes 5 minutes to open in word. in
open office it is similar, but a little bit better with the oasis
format. in both you play aroudn with the layout and the placing quite
a lot and it is a pain. on the other hand in latex you can say, i
dont care and keep on writing... untill your boss wants the picture
10 not where latex decided to place it... and then it gets messy like
it was "in the other world".
thanx for the invos about tetex, tex live

i will probably give openoffice another try... try to assembly
everything i have now and see what it results in. thanx
