Yes. Reasonable, simple, efficient. (Unfortunately the way from word to LaTeX is not nearly that efficient if not impossible.) Note, that you said that you don't know yet, if you need .doc at all, since the manuscript is not finished and you don't know for sure that .doc is a requirement for the publishers you will be sending your manuscript to. > The most amusing part is that people have > suggested using a WYSIWYG editor for LaTeX... and use LaTeX because the > WYSIWYG editor called OOo is bad because it is WYSIWYG. A-wha!? No. The reason for suggesting WYSIWYG editors was that you said you are not comfortable with other editors. The rationale behind it is that those editors will store your files in LaTeX-format, which is plain text and *extremely* suitable for version control -- opposed to OOo. Johannes NB: Why don't *I* like to write texts in WYSIWYG? - - the fonts I use for the editor are optimized for (my) readability on my screen at my resolution; the fonts I use for the printout are optimized for the printout - - the printed text is black and white; the computer screen is colour. My editor shows colour highlighting on screen, but will produce b/w output. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFG+mmmC1NzPRl9qEURAgBXAJ9rzd4+Uj+A+Rx7Yu8Jrp5d8gwzqACfYZOy E2y3NhcURuG8FPzqc6QUW3s= =0lus -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
