Hi, I am new to Linux and I am having a problem managing my documents. I'll explain my problem with two cases. I am using Debian 4.0 Etch.
(1) I want to write my resume in one particular format, say .doc, .odf or any other better format you can suggest. When I want to apply for jobs, I should be quickly able to convert them into any format I desire, like .DOC, .PDF, etc. What should I use and how can I do it? (2) I want to write presentations again in one particular format but I should be able to export it as .PDF or other popular presentation formats whenever I wish. How can this be done? I have a couple of other questions too. (3) Is there any advantage of disadvantage of saving files in ODF format instead of DOC, etc.? (4) When I tried to search the answers to my questions, I also came to know about Latex, etc. How useful is it? Do you use it? (5) How do you usually manage your documents and presentations? I would greatly appreciate any help from the Group.
