Formatting with LaTeX is a *lot* easier too. I can't count the hours that I swore at MS Word as it randomly relocated figures in 100+ page documents during various proposal seasons at my last job. I wrote my Master's thesis using LaTeX as well. All the formatting (margins, page numbers, etc.) came out right the *first* time.
You may be interested in knowing that there is a very nice port for Windows called MikTeX. The website can be found at http://www.miktex.org/. The PDFLaTeX program comes standard with the package. Ghostscript/Ghostview are also available for Windows for PS documents if you have that need. A *very* nice shareware program called WinEdt exists for LaTeX on Windows as well (http://www.winedt.com/). "WinEdt (shareware) is a powerful, extremely flexible and versatile native editor and shell for MS Windows with a strong predisposition towards the creation of [La]TeX documents (and much more!)..." I'm stuck with Windows at work as well (at least until we get a linux Novell client), but the above software makes it somewhat easier. -Mike- --- RABNUD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At http://news.gnhlug.org/article.php?sid=304 is: > > Lussier got to me first! > > re: "being freely able to create PDF documents is a definite plus." > Agreed, PDF is handy.
