I found the installation quite difficult but you are probably better at that. I use it to write letters, design forms and write my treasurers reports. Also for formatting reports based on data put out by MySQL. Just recently I have started to use it to set mathematics and of course for that it is superb since that is why Donald Knuth wrote it. The TeXbook is clearly written and quite amusing. If there is some tricky type- setting you need to do there is almost certainly an example in the book showing you how to do it.
