Why does Word persist?
I only use it for its Grammar checker anymore. I only do plain text, as the more formatting I try to do, the more it screws up for me. Maybe someday Apple will beef up its rudimentary grammar checker so I can ditch Word forever. Even then, I will need to find a program that does decent formatting, unless I am going to type everything in LaTeX.
Why does Word persist?
After doing my first book in MS Word in '88, I switched to LaTeX—and have never gone back. TeXShop (free!) in OS X as a front end to TeXLive is, by far, the best document processor—I even use it for exams, quizzes, and memos.
Why does Word persist?
Whatever rocks your boat, I guess. The idea of having to hand code formatting as I'm writing my document seems totally asinine to me. Talk about distracting you from putting down content.
Why does Word persist?
I disagree, trying to maintain consistent formatting in Word is the BIGGEST hinderence to productivity I've ever encountered in an application. The whole styles system is a joke. Even turning off all the auto-format options can't save you. The only way I can manage to write large documents/reports now (as a previous commentator suggested) using text only until the very end and then applying minimul necessary formatting manually. |
