What Software to use to write a report ?

Hello Guys,

When I want to write a report, I use Word 2007. But I'm sure there's some software which is specialised in writing reports, i.e. it'll make it easier and more professional to have a professional report, professional cover, Title page, Table of Contents, Abbreviations, glossary, Acknowledgements, Abstract (Summary or Executive Summary), Introduction, Body, Conclusion, Recommendations, Bibliography, Appendices, etc.

I also wish to save the the document as a .doc or a format which will be accurately converted to a .doc.

If your best suggestion is to use word, then go give some suggestions on how to have a professional report structure ready rather than me building one every time.

Thanks

wordperfect allows you to create the formatting you want very easily, it was made for lawyers memorandum. bor things like a bibliography there is a program called endnotes that you may want to look into

Thanks for your answer.

@GrahamSkan

Thank you as well, didn't know much about templates before.

Thanks, and good luck.

Incidentally, if you do decide to go the Word route, and cannot find the precise template to fits your requirements, you can open the nearest fit as a document, modify it and save it as a template to your PC.

If you want help with that or anything arising, please post a further question in the Microsoft Word zone
