> For books and similar long docs: ... I've worked in the book publishing industry and I've typeset books both using QuarkXPress (now everybody moved on to InDesign) and LaTeX. Using Word to typeset a book is a major PITA. Nobody in the professional book publishing industry is using Word to typeset books (well, ok, maybe 0.1% of masochists out there). Word is convenient to quickly edit crappy looking documents: it's a document editor. It's not a typesetting program.
