I'll have to remember that the next time a Word document gets 
repaginated merely 'cause I tried to update the index.

Right, one is instead beholden to the technocrats at Microsoft and at 
their mercy re: whether or no bugs get fixed.

Moreover, he achieved his fortune by steamrolling over other companies 
which often had much better technologies or architectures---take a look 
at Jerry Kaplan's book _StartUp_ for one example of this.

As regards doubts on TeX & Latex, well, ``The TeX Showcase'' should 
dispel any such:
