Features, Office 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.

"I don't mean to be too harsh, but I never understood people who decide to write long, complicated document with a WYSIWYG text processor like Word or Writer."

Nor can I. These are suitable for business letters and short reports, not theses or magazines or books.

Use a proper DTP program such as InDesign, Quark XPress or Pagestream. Then each element (such as a picture) stays exactly where you put it on the page. Styles are a basic feature of all DTP programs.
