MS Publisher was the dogs bollocks. Had many happy hours printing paper aeroplane designs in high school.
LaTeX gang reporting in.

More like WISIMOLWIG (with a few S for swearing sprinkled in)

Used LaTex in my previous life. Still reminisce those good old day, while I curse MS Word.
I wrote so much technical documentation in LaTeX when I started Unix and Linux in the 90s, I sometimes wonder why I don’t use it any more.
Maybe because I don’t write much stuff nowadays.
make it not form the text around it, then you can drag it wherever the hell you want.
Clever
Paaaaain. Thanks to God I discovered LaTeX and other text editing languages (like groff), I’ll never look back.
Yeah, formatting is never a pain in latex :/
Use a table.

I know it is a shitpost, but man.
Changing the picture’s text wrapping is just 3 clicks away.
Word formatting really isn’t that difficult.
It’s not just him. I format documents using Word pretty fine too. I use styles, headers, auto table of content, page breakers, all that stuff.
At the end of the day, Word is just an instrument. And pretty powerful, I must say. It also has learning curve not so steep as LaTeX.
