I am a Word(4.0) user on the Macintosh. Typically, I produce scientific reports having ~100 pages. Scientific equations are handle with a program called Expressionist (very WYSIWYG oriented) from which I cut and paste. On the other side, I work with peoples pleased with Tex and Latex. I am not convinced to switch to Tex or LaTex, for the following reason: o In my opinion figures help to understand a subject. o Tex and LaTex do not handle figures easily, so peoples dont put figures in their documents. (This is what I see) o Sometimes a figure may equal a thousand of words :-) -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | Louis Lamarche, IREQ | lamarche@ireq.hydro.qc.ca | CP 1000, Varennes | or | QC, Canada, J3X 1S1 | 514-652-8077 (office) 514-324-2919 (home)
