You could try to start with LyX, that can serve as a gentle introduction to LaTeX. It should teach you something about LaTeX document classes and document structure, environment and so on. Later you can start including latex commands directly, and finally get rid of the frontend and write in LaTeX pure :-) -- Jan Hlavacek (219) 434-7566 Department of Mathematics [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Saint Francis http://www.sf.edu/jhlavacek/
