Re: Hello, Using Latex for first time
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.

Hello, Using Latex for first time
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").GMathews wrote:Take care, enjoy the power of open source mate
