I'm an economist by training. I've been using LaTeX for more than 20 years, ever since I wrote my Ph.D. dissertation with an early version of LaTeX. I continue to use LaTeX for my working papers and some of my professional publications. I once edited an entire conference proceedings volume in LaTeX. At my current organization, I've written a package -- consisting of a LaTeX style file, a BibTeX style file, and a user guide -- that implements the various style and layout requirements my organization has come up with for working papers written by our economists. This package (i) has helped up free up much of the authors' time otherwise wasted on figuring out how to implement the guidelines written primarily for users of MS Word and (ii) has actually convinced some of our economists to finally make the switch from MS Word to LaTeX for their working papers.

Problem with a very heavy EPS image - scatter plot too heavy as EPS @JanHlavacek: Thanks for this. Did you try to compile your program with pdflatex as well? I've clarified my answer to emphasize that while there's a gain in terms of compilation speed, any gain in terms of size will depend on the nature of the eps file. |

Change itemize symbol in a Beamer note In beamer, "notes" are (usually) things that are meant to show up on the presenter's own screen (e.g., on his/her laptop) but not on the main screen that the audience gets to see. See Section 19 of the manual, "Adding notes for yourself." |

LaTeX inserts blank page between figures reworked the MWE to demonstrate its compatibility with the hyperref package; refocused the text on this issue as well |

LaTeX inserts blank page between figures It's possible to get \ref to work and generate separate (correct) cross-references with your method, but it doesn't seem to work at all if the hyperref package is loaded as well. I'm editing my answer to clarify this aspect of the cross-referencing process. |
