After about 4 or 5 days reading the Don't know if it's easier (for a programmer, sure), but much more =20 reliable - MSW is famous for destroying huge works like books or theses.

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 =20 for that - besides any TeX, of course. ;-) > Another important thing: *only* MS-Word can read your Word-=20 > document, and of > course only the right version (M$ won't guarantee, that Word-2005 =20 > 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).
