Tools for Preparing Documents and Presentations
Here is an extraordinarily helpful guide for writing technical papers by Joao Hespanha.
For documents with any mathematical symbols and expressions, LaTeX is a great document preparation system.
To use LaTeX with Windows, MikTeX is a good option. To use LaTeX with OS X,
TeXShop is a good option.
Both MikTeX and TeXShop come with good editors. For Windows WinEdt
is another option with a good GUI for symbol insertion etc, but it requires a (relatively modest) license fee.
Another option is TexStudio, which is free.
Many journals provide style files that make it easy to prepare articles compatible with
their formatting rules.
