I use LaTeX (MiKTeX + TeXstudio) on a Win 10 machine because I got sick and tired of trying to get my printer to work correctly with FreeBSD. I just gave up completely with the scanner and copy functions. The largest document I have tried using with a current version of MS Word is only approximately 400 pages. Many times I will write documents via LaTeX and create a PDF file. Unfortunately, because so much of my work has to be shared among several users, and LaTeX does not offer a suitable way of having a multitude of users edit a document for review, with each edit being kept isolated from the final document, I usually have to write the document with MS Word. I guess it all depends on your audience. For the record, I know that there are supposed to be packages that allow something similar to the multi-user editing style used in MS Word, but I have not found them practical, especially since the intended audience would also need to have LaTeX installed and that is just not going to happen. For the record, my current version of MS Word is 16.0.x. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/ZdJrGIfQirfgk.f3cZHimJM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl5JN8AACgkQOHMGOIfe xWQjxgf+O/j5Ootk2Q/hfBMuuacEDJbjtawHOF+WwgHQB5ALXqjJ5MLi0EZ0uLtr QOZvbTEszW12EpZmu4BSnClRPzSjFbNjRb+WBDc5JeksgOF+rsjrUKXArUDqXwTL qVkJM2WVeg1e0aknyE9rEvZYZtkA8fMbhLhXeU3pP1RaDSgF2gIScKzFevmoQNG+ LVhcx6RdTe859FN6aGiccLS3cTZmvLZLrXbVTczjuEkR8ZS64DxL/w52LD2Eg3SO 2Os2vdAUTgTbp8lCUGZ3UUZB12oNMqCmXMZ+Sqsei2BLhscFG8d+kahGm8XZ24jF 0xBSvnPkmQMpyZ5G/cCmAPE29t+q5Q== =l9Um -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ZdJrGIfQirfgk.f3cZHimJM--
