If you want to allege that either of these tools are bad at document creation, then I don't agree with you. MS Word has a really really wonderful document model just as any self-respecting word processor should have, and one can indeed make good reports in it.
yep, I guess Word or for that matter any WYSIWYG tool is great for casual/short editing needs. However for real stuff like books/thesis/report you have to resort to Latex like tools
If you really feel adventurous, try Docbook-XML :-) Then you can publish your documents in any format - LaTeX, ps, PDF, HTML, RTF, text, etc.
ummm... XML I have vague idea that it is some kinda markup language having more features than HTML. I have no idea what is Docbook Can you please enlighten me ?
All sane people publish their reports, papers, articles etc using LaTeX or related tools. Don't worry, you are on the right track! :-)
Thank God :)
