Once again MS Word gets me very discouraged. Why can’t it handle section, page, and appendix numbering properly? Why can’t it arrange figures or other “floats” nicely? Why do I have to go to websites to find, not solutions, but work arounds?
Memo to self: if a client wants a report in future s/he will get a PDF file. I’ll choose how that PDF is generated. LaTeX is my preference. I look up how to do a particular task, appendix numbering for example, write a macro and, forever after “it just works”. If the client wants MS Word then I charge many $$ extra for the wasted time it takes to do the formatting. WYSIWYG indeed: what I see is what I don’t want MS Word!
