You get some content in and get a preliminary output - at that point you'll want to tweak the output because that's what you're used to with WYSIWYG word processors like Word. Don't. TeX knows more about typesetting than you or I will ever learn. Concentrate on the content and structure of your document. Save any tweaking for the final output - there's usually a few things that need to be manually adjusted by judicious addition of white space. Leave the heavy lifting to TeX.

I know some people use it for everything until it's time to print, then they export to LaTeX. Good luck with it. > Something good did come out of this.
