Excuse me??? You're seriously considering not writing your thesis in
LaTeX? They _let_ you write in something else? How quaint.
Just use LaTeX. It really is the only choice. Sure, for a brief letter
now and then or something, it ain't worth learning, but if you're writing
a whole thesis, then you want to have something that looks professional at
the end, and you don't want to have to fight with a word processor to do
it. Just use LaTeX, you won't regret learning it. What is your thesis on,
anyway? Thesis-obsessed minds wish to know. :)
