I'm curious about this. Do you recommend doing the actually typing of the main text in Mathematica? Or writing in Word and copying paragraphs over to a Mathematica file as they are completed? I certainly been exasperated with Word a lot when trying to use MathType or Equation Editor, and would love to use Mathematica, but Word as a lot of features for text editing that I find very convenient for writing actual text. How could one emulate field codes, very handy for managing references, in Mathematica? -- Curt Fischer
