    I'm learning LaTeX for writing up my dissertation.
    Does anyone have experience with working with LateX?
    If so would you be interested in helping me format in
    exchange for either money or ammo?
    There is already a template available from Purdue,
    but I want to make some minor modifications to it.
    Does anyone know if there are any issues with saving
    all the files (.tex, .aux, etc) for a project (or all projects) in the same folder?

    Thanks!

    Thank you.
    I'm slowly figuring it out but wish I the time spent was more on my research and not so much on formatting stuffy stuff.

    I wrote all of my work-related documents, including my resume in LaTex & VIM. Donald Knuth is a genius!

    I would be more than happy to help you out!

    Also, I wouldn't rename any file extension in the directory. You have multiple file formats, .tex is the original source. Other formats need to be in .dvi ( device independent for PDF's and printing ) so it's important to be able to tell which format the files are in.

    P.S I don't want money, I will help you in the spirit of GNU and Open Source.

    Thank you fellow LaTex appreciator! This system is quite ingenious and I'm hoping to hasten my learning curve, but already working with microsoft word seems rather silly in comparison. I'll probably be contacting you in a couple of weeks for you expertise. Other wise I've figured everything out by then, which is an unlikely event.
