Re: [PLUG] Sharing Latex document with Word users ?

Thanks for all the suggestions. For now, the pdf solution works out the
best. I'm using pdflatex to generate a pdf in which he can make notes

from a practical standpoint although he appreciates that it's mostly a
philosophical issue for me (not wanting to use MS software).



The PDF solution sounds excellent. The PDF file specs are openly available and useable under multiple OS'es and applications. Using Word to create and read Word documents seems to be silly when more flexible and less expensive alternatives exist.
