        Word for BIG docs ? by SciSSorS 2005-12-19 08:51:12
Then it has changed, very much.
My biggest issue with Word *was* that it didn't handle "big documents" well.
And then, I would create that "master document" (or whatsitsnameinWord?) to have each "chapter" be an #included-like doc. And Word f4'ed the numbering because the "documents were different"
Has that been fixed today?
And more: if any document grew over a few pages of length, I had a big chance of losing it entirely, as Word would then start "corrupting" the document. It couldn't be opened any more.

Well, that consistent behaviour made me SEARCH for the "include document" or "make a chain of documents" solution, as I couldn't afford re-typing things. (I never got beyond the few-finger typing, so ... )

But they may have "repaired" it since.

Never had problems with big docs in vi (about same time), but it PRINTED ugly unless it was "typeset" with LaTeX stuff in between.

On the Linux thingy, the LaTeX seems to come with ALL distro's, and LyX as well, so that may be a solution when I end up writing big docs again.

Not for now though: "big doc" is a report saying "I tested THESE universes / reps in the Business Objects migration, and the red ones don't migrate well" (hey, almost everything seems to migrate well, I'm very suspicious but got no complaints on my testing report nor method so ... maybe SOMEONE makes migrating to their new version tempting ? )
