A hearty second for this recommendation. I still (some 6 years later)
consider this to be some of the best 30 bucks I ever spent. This small
investment forever freed me from the need to use those awful word
processors. I suppose they've made some significant progress in the past
few years, but I also suppose that the support for equation formatting is
still terrible.
Anyway, I also recommend picking up this book if you plan on doing anything
significant in LaTeX.
