Seeing as how you've referred to "chapters", it sounds like you're making contributions to a book or dissertation or script or some sort of larger document. I'd be wary of using a text editor instead of a word processor -- they are two very different things.
A text editor is really designed for editing things like batch files and source code for programs. Even a "fancy" text editor with features like the ability to open multiple files at the same time or handling really large files doesn't turn it into a word processor. At least from a simplistic perspective, the main thing that separates a text editor from a word processor is that a word processor understands what sentences and paragraphs are while a text editor only understands lines (rows) and columns. What a word processor brings to the table compared to a text editor is much more than a spell-checker. You CAN use a text editor to create a document with sentences and paragraphs, but it's very cumbersome. A word processor understands what sentences and paragraphs are, and if your ultimate goal is to create a document a word processor is much less frustrating to use than a text editor. Similarly, if your ultimate goal is to create the source code for a program, a word processor is much more frustrating to use than a text editor (though it can be done). If you're only doing small tasks, you can use either tool and "suffer through" the shortcomings associated with using the wrong tool for the job. For larger projects, though, you should really use the correct tool, even if only for your own sanity. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
