Alternatives to Word?
It has been a while. Â Mostly because we’re preparing for a peer review and still making adjustments to the model. Â The one thing more frustrating than that: Word 2013.
I’m not going to go into a tyrade about how I should NEVER be able to apply a caption style to a picture or a page break or how it handles sections terribly or how annoying it is to try and format all tables and pages (in a dozen or so different files) similarly. Â Or how I can have things that suddenly the ‘Normal’ style is Times New Roman in my tables but Calibri in the rest of the same document… *sigh*
So my break-off from a forced hiatus is this: what else is out there? Â My web searches have largely came up with LaTeX or useless results (i.e. sending large files, document management systems, etc). Â LaTeX is an option, but it does have a learning curve and whatever the final decision is something my staff will have to live with (as will I).
