Philharmonic3,

Use a table.

Patches,

And now we’re back in 90s with HTML programming…

mariusafa,

Paaaaain. Thanks to God I discovered LaTeX and other text editing languages (like groff), I’ll never look back.

pirrrrrrrr,

Formatting in Word is so easy.

If this issue from 1997 is still affecting you, you probably still use Internet Explorer.

Skill issue.

thechadwick,

Yeah? Well that’s just like, your opinion, man…

For real though, formatting in word is a nightmare of ribbon-esque proportions.

Honytawk,

I know it is a shitpost, but man.

Changing the picture’s text wrapping is just 3 clicks away.

Word formatting really isn’t that difficult.

Llewellyn,

It’s not just him. I format documents using Word pretty fine too. I use styles, headers, auto table of content, page breakers, all that stuff.

At the end of the day, Word is just an instrument. And pretty powerful, I must say. It also has learning curve not so steep as LaTeX.

Hupf,

LaTeX gang reporting in.

Why WYSIWYG when you can TCSR (type, compile, swear, repeat)

More like WISIMOLWIG (with a few S for swearing sprinkled in)

Used LaTex in my previous life. Still reminisce those good old day, while I curse MS Word.

I wrote so much technical documentation in LaTeX when I started Unix and Linux in the 90s, I sometimes wonder why I don’t use it any more.

Maybe because I don’t write much stuff nowadays.

KpntAutismus,

make it not form the text around it, then you can drag it wherever the hell you want.

Fox,

In the distance, sirens
