When it comes to computers, scientists can be a problem. (So can grandparents, but that's another story.) They can often program a bit - but they find it incredibly difficult to format a document in such a way that it is well organised and easy to follow. I've got the results of one such effort sitting on my computer right now, and sorting it out is not proving to be a simple job.
What's wrong with it? Well, he's got some basic idea of document structure, but he doesn't really fully understand the idea of numbering systems. (4. 4.1 4.1.1. etc.) And I haven't figured out how to reorganise it yet. I'll get there, but it's going to be a struggle.
And it's a very long struggle. 25 pages, all up.
Sigh.
