No doubt I will also plug LaTeX and GNU in general ;-}. I only wish that more of the crystallography journals accepted .tex format. Does anyone know which journals do?
For one journal, which shall remain nameless, I was required to reformat my documents into wrd. It was a big pain, but OpenOffice worked for this. It can edit word, powerpoint, excel, and many other formats, and it is available with all major free software distributions. For crystallography, obviously stick with *nix. Regards, Michael L.
