It does, if you change the stylesheets you're using. > Text processors do force you to create a document in a consistent, > structured way with uniform final appearence. Correct, but there's no reason you can't change that final appearance. Now, if you meant that you can't micromanage appearance, that's very true. You can't move a bad page break without changing the style sheets, or fix where figures appear without changing the mechanism that placed them. > If you want to design printed output, use a wordprocessor. I'd personally suggest something like FrameMaker or Interleaf, which have many of the advantages of docbook or latex for technical documents, but are less widely used than Word. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors!
