I use MS Word 2003 regularly. It's bad and sad, I can't have good change control with it, and I need to boot into MS Windows to use it, but it's working fine. I can't get fancy typesetting or automatic index generation with it, but it's generally OK for something like a report or a specification. But I won't try typesetting books in it. Even TeX-e-Parsi wasn't enough when I last typeset a book. It choked when I was using an automatically generated table of contents with a multiple numbering scheme for pages and non-standard footnotes. I needed to prepare the table of contents in a special separate run. I was not talking about small documents. I was talking about typesetting a whole seven-volume dictionary, with complex text and requirements. > Fortunately, I have a good pen now. I just use it to write :-) But unfortunately, you've forgotten where that Meem thing was on the Persian keyboard, Huh? roozbeh _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
