Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t have issues with images in word.

Have you considered the possibility that you don't exist?

[-] max@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

That’d be nice sometimes.

I don't either. But I tend to use (La)TeX to typeset documents.

Can you paste an image from the clipboard and place it on the page, using a mouse, without messing up the formatting of the rest of the page in latex?

[-] max@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Not that I know of. But LaTeX is not a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. It’s a markup language.

Wait, it's not just me ? How can 30 year old commercial software still be this janky ?

When the LaTeX document has pixel-perfect alignment with all the images and you can still add text without things jumping around.

PSA: Word isn't layout software, it's a WYSIWYG document editor. You can change settings to make it work more like layout software, but it's better to use a layout tool if you need that.

Recently I switched to using Affinity Publisher because it did everything I needed from InDesign. The only problem being, if I want to share files with anyone, I have to make sure they also have Affinity Publisher.

I love affinity, it's really really good. And I can actually fucking own it and don't have to pay for it for the rest of my life
