It *is* possible if you know how and are very careful (split the text
in
chapters, safe and backup often etc.), but OpenOffice.org is better
for that -
besides any TeX, of course. ;-)
I like the idea of OO, but I have to say I have always found strange
behaviour in OO. I switched to latex (and then very probably to
context) because on Macosx in the version I tried of OO I wrote
italics, I printed italics, but I didn't see on the screen italics. So,
if I have to use a non-wysysyg, oh well, I use TeX. As a word processor
AbiWord is interesting.
Another important thing: *only* MS-Word can read your Word-document,
and of
course only the right version (M$ won't guarantee, that Word-2005
prints
out your document the same way as Word-2000).
That's not true since about Word 98; and there are a lot of other word
processors that can import MSW-Docs (e.g. OOo again).
I do not agree. Microsoft always changes in some unpredictable and
bad-documented way their file format. I've *always* found enormous
difficulties in opening with other word processors M$ files, even when
they should be rtf. It is simply not possible, if you want to retain
the exact document information.
So, I switched to latex...
Question:
One of the main feature I appreciated in latex was a very simple but
effective latex2rtf converter. It is very useful if you have simple
document to be shared with other non-tex people, especially during
preliminary work on a project. You write the context (with structure:
section, subsection, etc,), share it, modify it, and finally control
the typographic stuff in details. Is anything similar for context?
