The edition and pages are nicely presented with Latex.

It also depends on time. You can have something quickly done in Word.

If it is to be presented to more important people I would use Latex.

  • Microsoft Word is ubiquitous. In most cases, co-writing with groups from different companies or across industry and academia is a lot easier with Microsoft Word than with LaTeX.
  • Such features as spell-check, grammar check, WYSIWYG, track changes, word count, line numbering, and the manuscript marking system are more powerful and convenient with Microsoft Word.
  • Microsoft Word is easier to use for novices.
  • Microsoft Word now has many handy multi-authoring tools built in.
  • Reuse of figures and text is easier when using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint together (as opposed to LaTeX and PowerPoint).

Hi,

I would recommend Latex as I have worked with both MS Word as well as LaTex. Mathematics involves lots of equations and in LaTex, we can actually refer to any equation anywhere on the file.
