Depends how specific your layout requirements are and the kind
of document you want to produce. LaTeX is pretty
straightforward really, but you don't really have the fine
grained control that other document formats have, so if you
have exotic layout requirements it's going to be annoying.
http://stp.lingfil.uu.se/~zrajm/nerd/LaTeX/quickguide.html is a
good enough start. You don't need to know all of that.
Thanks, that was a good intro. It looks like I could almost get
away with a simple LaTeX table for the form. But I can see
myself getting bogged down by the details; I think latex is
going to be "too hard" for this project. I may still come back
to it as best option though.
And it was good to get the LaTeX basics, I can start thinking
about how I can use it for the next project.
Thanks again for the info.
Charlie
