If you will be writing your own macros, I'd suggest looking at expl3 (LaTeX 3) and friends; still experimental, but quite handy.

Finding the documentation was a bit of a chore and I'm not satisfied yet that I have everything I'll need, but the web eventually yielded up manuals whose titles, at least, claim they're about LaTeX, LaTeX2e, TeXWorks and MikTeX. I have a lot of reading yet to do. This morning I emailed the Word document to myself and tried saving it as PDF. Turns out Word is awful at that too. It skipped over most of the ToC and jumped from there straight to the beginning of the second chapter, omitting the Intro. I probably won't bother to see what else is wrong with it. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Do right, and God's recompense to you will be the power of doing more right.
