The problem with Word is that it defaults to an interface that makes it harder than it should be and discourages the proper use of semantic styling. A price to pay for emulating advanced typewriter as default UI setting :(
- alerighi 5y agoAre there even other UIs for Word? Interesting, I didn't know that. But I think that we still are talking about another "point and click" interface. The difference between Word and LaTeX is that the first one is a graphical WYSIWYG editor, while the second one is a markup language. To me they are not even comparable, It's like comparing Wordpress with HTML.
- p_l 5y agoYou can switch to logical view (I don't remember the exact name, "conspect"?) which doesn't apply 95% of styling and reflects hierarchy of the document + makes it easier to apply semantic styles en masse. A big problem is that it's simply easier most of the time to hit Ctrl-B rather than select a style named "emphasis" and so on :(
