does anyone else here use LaTex for writing reports? I hear it is a good way to do it (albeit complicated) but I don't really have any idea about it myself.

this is really similar to another thread, either its deja vu or a glitch in the matrix...

I've used it for writing up a few notes, but after that I kindof changed over to MS Word and Equation Editor. The main reason is that I completely and utterly hate the Computer Modern font in its entirety, and I really cannot be bothered trying to find out how to change the font because it's ridiculously complicated.

MS Word really bites. I just can't get into it...and that damned paperclip!...Oh...to be patronised by one's own wordprocessor!...the ignominy!

 

WordPerfect rocks!:bravo:

I cast him into eternal paperclip hell. He was the devil himself!

Does anyone have any recommendations for decent math typesetting programs? I'm getting quite annoyed with MS Word and Equation Editor.

how about latex?

 

(and the circle of life is complete)

go for MathType its really cool. u can get the 30 day demo which also acts as the full program but needs the key. u can find the key anywhere.

Don't like MathType, can't set the equations out how I want them

 

Gone back to using LaTeX, much better quality images as well.
