Everybody has Word and how difficult can it be? Indeed it is very easy to write poorly looking documents in (Word and) LibreOffice. LaTeX enforces a lot of things, and this one of the reasons why you really have to try hard to write poorly looking documents, though I have seen many determined attempts at doing so over the years, some of them successful. The answer I ALWAYS get from Word/LO users is: Styles? What are Styles? el On 2021-10-08 03:44 , Alan Tyree wrote:
Why is it so hard to get people to use styles? I worked recently with a friend to convert his Word document into an ePub. My advice is don't ever, ever do this! Even though I had advocated the use of styles, he had spent hours using direct formatting. And it is not just amateurs. I write for a service that insists on using Word documents (who knows why?) and the stuff they send me is all direct formatting. I know that this is preaching to the choir here, but I wondered if anyone had a strategy that convinced others to work with styles. Cheers, Alan
