Hi, first. Don't panic :D TeX is a typesetting system, a "programming language" for typesetting. But I guess the recommendation was for LaTeX, which is much easier, but more inflexible. It's built up TeX and is for "normal" people.... :D You just write your text and structure it and push a button and got a well designed, clean document... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX LyX is even more simple then LaTeX and again a bit more inflexible then LaTeX. It's easy to learn and has a good built-in Howto. LaTex is a little bit like HTML, but LyX is more like Word. I think it's combine the advantages of easy to use wordprocessors like Word with the advantages of structured documents created with LaTeX. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LyX I wrote my first homework for the university with LyX and switched later to LaTeX. Here an example of a document I created with LaTeX. You got nearly similar results with LyX. http://www.prometoys.net/downloads/seminararbeit_behavior_ecology_view.pdf Regards, Keywan P.S.: Sorry for the maybe imprecise explanations, but I want to keep them easy.
