       Anyone have recommendations for a word processor (ie. can do page layouts, table of contents, multimedia) that can handle large documents well? i.e. ~100 pages

       @noctiluca If you have (very) large or complex documents, Framemaker is still the king.Expensive, though. In the open source world, your only solution really is TeX and your favorite text editor.

       @noctiluca Emacs.Sorry. Couldn't help it. :PMore seriously, does LibreOffice not support large amounts of pages very well?

       @noctiluca I recommend overleaf.com for this purpose.  I have used MS Word, LibreOffice, NeoOffice, StarOfffice, GeoWrite and others I am likely forgotten.  Overleaf is my suggestion for making documents as you describe. Start with a template. Overleaf is a LaTeX editor.

       @noctiluca I found LaTeX to be impenetrable until I tried Overleaf.  Their interface suits me and their documentation is thorough.  Starting with a template and making some text books first with public domain source material I got up to speed in a few months.  Again, high recommendations for overleaf.com for making books.Praise "Bob" ! :jrbd:
