A buddy (working on PhD in...something computery at Purdue) uses LaTeX, and always suggests it to me when I have document-editing Qs. I hit him up w/Qs because he is super software-literate, and does presentations.
My most recent problem was inserting PDF files into a Word doc - I had to submit one Word doc, but I had six PDF attachments and three Excel attachments. My solution was convert all the PDF pages into images (PDFile PDF Tools, or something, was used), then insert each IMG. Lame sauce.
My bud says LaTeX is supa eezee once you get a grasp of its capabilities. I DL'd LyX, and have started to play.
QUESTION: Do yall use it to compile lengthy reports that include graphics, misc attachments, etc? Is it useful? Is it easy enough to learn? Do you prefer LaTeX, or the LyX interface?
