Well, on the other hand: Word is *nowhere* near in matching the
print-out quality of LaTeX - and neither is OOo. Does Wordperfect
match it?
So far, the only WYSIWYG program able to match LaTeX for
sheer quality of print-out (that I have seen) was Framemaker, and
that's an entirely different league (pricewise, for starters...).
Also, you don't need to know much to write a good LaTeX document -
that's the beauty of it. LaTeX takes care of most things and you
concentrate on typing as opposed to doing layout. That's how I did it
with my scripture and reports - all written in LaTeX (XEmacs
rules...). Word would have forced me to put a lot more effort in
layout (still does) - and I hate it for that. Never mind about the old
"change your printer - reformat your document" problem...
Cheerio,
Thomas
