As much as I love LaTeX, I would be cautious on recommending it for someone with a short term objective or does not really need to write equations etc.
Part of the reason is the initial step of getting the different softwares required to make LaTeX work properly can be difficult. However, I think this webpage does a good job of explaining it http://www.math.aau.dk/~dethlef/Tips/introduction.html WinEdt (http://www.winedt.com/) might also be worth checking out.
