How to create a table with merged columns and rows, and wrapped text, like in MS Word? @PredragPunosevac, could I entice you into working the example above as an answer to this question? Not the final result, but the workflow. I use a combination of org-modein Emacs, "Save as CSV" in Excel and pgfplotstable, but when it comes to multirows and multicolumns I get sad, sigh in resignation and just go at it by hand after creating an initial template. |

How to achieve nomenclature entries like: symbol, Description, Dimension and unit, etc? Glaring typo in the title. Trivial one-letter fix, but I think it's important enough. |

How to use LaTeX tables with MS Word/PowerPoint To create a cropped PDF per table, you might want to use the standalone package. It will output a PDF the size of the table you are creating. To convert the PDF to another format, you could use Imagemagick. |

How long does it take to format a book in LaTeX? Bells and whistles would entail fully functional cross-references, bibliographies, generating graphs where appropriate instead of using external images. All this assumes that you would want a layout more or less identical to the one already existing in Word and that the content is already complete in word. I may be forgetting other things. Would it be safe to say you want a fully working replica of the Word document, within reason? |

How long does it take to format a book in LaTeX? Do you mean how long it would take a person to convert the book from .doc to .tex, with all the bells and whistles? |

OS X command-script to compile LaTeX @Hugo, I stand to be corrected on this (Someone, please point him in the right direction!). When you invoke latex it does a few passes to figure out how to layout the paragraphs and pages optimally; it also makes note of any cross-reference (citations, tables of contents, etc.) and translations, and creates appropriate files for those if they don't already exist. If the files exist, it verifies that their information is consistent with the source. If it is, it outputs, if not, it overwrites them and requests for you to run latex again.
