So then, am I the only person on the list to use LaTeX for these
purposes? I'm no professional (heck, I'm still a [final year] student) but
isn't LaTeX is a real typesetting language? Personally, I think that it
produces much better results than MS Word (albeit with some extra
effort needed) and it's sectioning and automatic layout capabilities alone
make it worth its weight in gold for writing dissertations with :o) (I should
know -- I've just finished mine about 6 hours ago!).
