Well folks who prepare documents in Word, esp. formal documents, more often than not, pick the default rendering of Times New Roman (and I know the default in MS-Word is not TNR).
And a standard MS-Word TNR document looks like crap. I'm sorry.
But I have to admit I have an over-reaction to seeing an MS-Word document after spending more than a decade working with TeX/LaTeX exclusively. So part of the blame goes to me, and actually hurts my ability to keep up with the literature when I start avoid MS-Word papers.
- zwieback 7y agoYeah, the default Word style definitely isn't anything like a typeset document. For fun I downloaded the "Latex.dot" template and some computer modern fonts, with those you can make a first approximation of the Latex look in Word but it's still not the same. I've never been a fan of the Computer Modern font but the page layout and formating in Latex is certainly nice and just having a standard for scientific papers is a plus.
