I've always found it easier to create a report using LaTeX
than using word. I spend far less time fiddling with display oddities
and widows and orphan paragraphs. While word might be usable (I
wonder, though -- it appears to have no concept of kerning or
variable spacing), it seems far harder to do what one wants than if
one uses TeX.
