Word
Fudoshin, 
MS Publisher was the dogs bollocks. Had many happy hours printing paper aeroplane designs in high school.
Philharmonic3, Use a table.
Rhynoplaz, If it doesn’t work on my desk I don’t see how moving to the table will help.
mariusafa, Paaaaain. Thanks to God I discovered LaTeX and other text editing languages (like groff), I’ll never look back.
geogle, 
Yeah, formatting is never a pain in latex :/
MacNCheezus, 
Clever
Beefytootz, Been a while since I’ve used Word. If I recall correctly, you can hold Alt while dragging an image to make it act correctly. Oddly enough, I think I learned that trick from when I was really into the sims
dependencyinjection, How does the sims and word connect?
Aasikki, Holding alt in Sims lets you place and rotate items freely instead of being locked to the grid or 90 degree rotations.
dependencyinjection, Ah. Thanks for enlightening me.
Beefytootz, Yep, that’s it. No other connection outside of that lol
pirrrrrrrr, Formatting in Word is so easy.
If this issue from 1997 is still affecting you, you probably still use Internet Explorer.
Skill issue.
thechadwick, Yeah? Well that’s just like, your opinion, man…
For real though, formatting in word is a nightmare of ribbon-esque proportions.
Llewellyn, (edited ) 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.
Honytawk, (edited ) 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.
KpntAutismus, make it not form the text around it, then you can drag it wherever the hell you want.
bus_factor, Eh, depends. I once had a document with lots of tables. I pasted another table into this document. Suddenly all regular text became bold and vice versa. If I made anything bold or non-bold after this, all the tables moved to the top left corner of the first page, on top of each other. Word did some weird stuff sometimes. We eventually threw in the towel and used LaTeX.
Siegfried, Latex is the way to go for long documents populated with tables and images
bus_factor, I already knew that, but some of my teammates were a little scared of it and had to learn the hard way.
Kusimulkku, Still sometimes manages to break paging and elements are bumped up or down without any rhyme or reason. It’s hell.
Dalvoron, IMO the default should be one of the text wrapping options.
