No doubt I am anticipating El Coyote, but just do yourself a favor and learn 
LaTeX,  preferably on a Linux system.  Microsoft is pure condensed evil.  And 
as I have been saying recently, Apple is pure evil with style.   This from 
someone who kind of considers hisself an un-ordained buddhist with a Small B, 
and not a student of any teacher who might want to....   make me use Microsoft 
Fonts.
