Don't. Your daughter must be free to use whatever software she likes. If |
| 10 |
you want her to use latex (and I'm a big fan of latex, I fully |
| 11 |
understand your concern), show her the great advantages of it. Show her |
| 12 |
how easy is formatting and other things and how clumsy it is on OO.org. |
| 13 |
She must see both, and come to the conclusion latex is just better. |
| 14 |
If she doesn't understand it soon (how old is she?), she will understand |
| 15 |
it later. |

OTOH having basic skills in using a word processor is always useful, |
| 18 |
today, no matter how bad WYSIWYG word processors can be. |

If you constrain her, she will just (1)hate you and (2)hate latex. No win. |
