With LaTeX one has only to add the command "\index{Entry}" at the deemed important places and then can get near automatically a correct index - the shuffling of text has no influence on the correctness, if the index is updated afterwards.The one and only problem with LaTeX is, that one has to be very knowledgeable, if one wants to change something which is beyound the standard distribution. It can surely be done and with a good probability it has already been done, but you still need to know, where the extra package with the required functionality is - with several thousands of extensions not a simple task.Otherwise, with LaTeX you can set books of near unlimited size and with a lot of less bugs than you get in Word - actually, the very core of LaTeX, the TeX-kernel, is considered to be bug-free. I'm testing the capabilities right now with a private relayout of Elements of Magic Revised (with permission), because the official PDF doesn't contain the updated text yet. I have to say, that my version does look better except some missing art - especially the tables are now aesthetic, compared to the original ones. I'll attach a sample - mine may be bigger, but it is more eye-friendly.</blockquote>
