Yup...just to remain completely off topic, the one big feature of latex over word for me is the handling of pictures and other floating objects. Word has a tendency (or a positive need) to move them about in a seemingly random way. Which would be OK, but given the way it handles paragraphs, this then totally ruins the rest of the document. With papers, the only way I found to get around Word was to write the text and keep the pictures seperate. Once the text was done, I would then move the pictures in. Particularly a problem for conferences, where the text is often two column. Word is really bad with floats... Rod
