I'm using Klyx to write a 500-page book, and although there
are some things I'd like to see done differently, Klyx is
the best document preparation system I've ever used. And
after having written 40 books, I've used them all. Klyx is
exactly what I need. My biggest problem is that I must
submit the book as individual chapters. So I'm using
separate files for each chapter and then combining them into
the finished ball of wax. I am also having trouble
convincing my publisher to use the finished ps output, but
perhaps I can publish the results online in some fashion.
Again, for what it's worth, I'm sold on Klyx! It lets me
concentrate on writing and not on time wasting chores such
as selecting Word styles.
