Before I start, let me tell you the little story, how I got the idea for writing this article. When I wrote my first article for OSNews, one of the screenshots I included showed my diploma thesis. I merely wanted to show that OpenOffice.org in Fedora Core 2 features native icons, nothing more.

heh, I'm just giving my vote for LyX! I love it! I still use OO.o for small things, but for anything substantial I use LyX. The best part of it is BiBTeX! I edit my .bib file in xemacs bibtex mode, it's so easy, and you can share the references across multiple papers, and it does it all automatically! The last paper I wrote, I spent about 30 seconds on formatting!
On another note. I'm doing a PhD, and I get to see quite a few students use word processors and what not. And I'm absolutely astounded how few people use the stylist in word!! People doing table of contents by hand!?!? That's ridiculous!
I really don't know how people don't know this stuff! Good Article though, it's sorely needed!
