Yes, you and many other people have done that. That's not the problem and
never has been. The problem is when I point out why it is ill-suited to *my
specific needs* those problems are flippantly ignored. As above while
converting to word is not an issue for you it is for me. I have explained in
detail for me. That means that outside some serious wrangling LaTeX is out of
the picture. Yet others (not you) have continued on to get more and more
unreasonable in their assertions that not only is LaTeX a /possible/ answer
that it is /the best answer *for Steve Lamb*/.
I don't mind at all bringing it up as a possible answer. I didn't from
the start, I don't now. But I expect the same respect given to me when I say
it is not viable in my situation. That respect is sorely lacking. To me that
is utterly surprising in an Open Source project which is supposed about
choices, not the "this is the only tool for you, ever" mentality of the closed
source alternatives.

Your suggestion, no. Johannes' constant harping, yes. Especially when he
starts engaging in strawman fallacies, ignoring things I am saying and
flipping arguments my mixing unrelated things together.
