Hello all,

I decided to use Latex, MS Word is killing me with the lab reports im doing for my 3rd year in Chemical Engineering.

Still getting used to it, but im eager to get it right.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

There's a first time for everything. Congratulations for your decision. Perhaps we can help to get you satisfied with this new way of document writing.

Best regards and welcome to the board
Thorsten

Greetings, GMathews.

I started learning LaTeX from scratch in April as an alternative to following in my predecessor's footsteps and generating all of my documentation in Word 2007. Couldn't be happier (though I've given the mods here a few headaches with all of my "newbie" questions). Cheers.

Take care, enjoy the power of open source mate

I have been for quite awhile now. I use Microsoft products as a necessary evil, but most of what I do at work and home is open source based (now if I could just find something that works as well as Visio...place don't say "Dia").
