Hi All,
We're trying to find the best tool to use for a project that is just
starting. We have two primary requirements:
* robust conditional text
* ability to ship output files as both PDF and MS-Word
Currently on our list to test are Word, Open Office, and LaTeX. Does
anyone else have experience getting output to MS-Word from LaTeX source
files? Any words of advice? Anything you wish you'd known before you
started?
Or are there any other tools that we should look at that would satisfy
both of our requirements?
Thanks,
-Ami
