I'm trying to envision a world where a boss forced his "secretary" to not only use LaTeX but compose it in emacs. It seems like cruel and unusual punishment. Even places I was at in the late 80's that were sun/vax/hp shops and everyone did composition in tex, the assistant pool etc. had dos pcs with wordperfect - that the engineers often wanted to borrow.
