Re: getting out of LaTeX

I know exactly how sections are _supposed_ to work, and I have no
problem inserting cross references; it simply refuses to update them
when their numbers change.

A cross reference is like when you say "For more on this see 3.1 So
and so on page 73" right? And the page number, title etc should all be
automatically updated when they change.
I use that several times, and it always worked. Did you try F9, or
ctrl-A F9 to update them all over the document?

This would not happen in FrameMaker.

Word doesn't use "hidden tags." Maybe you're thinking of WordPerfect.

Word now (97 and up) has Shift-F1 to show what WordPerfect's
'underwater screen' shows. It show the paragraph and character styles
(if any) and direct paragraph and character formatting.

All paragraph formatting is "contained in" the paragraph symbol at its
end (just as all section formatting is "contained in" the following
section break marker).

Looks like a rather smart solution. Where else would you put? Didn't
WP5.1 do the same?
