I would like to submit my university thesis composited in TeX. But I am not sure what is the best practise in the writing stage so I would like to ask you - do you write your thesis in a TeX editor or do you use some other text editor/program (MS Word, Libre Office Writer etc.) and after you finish, you transform your work into TeX?

**Edit:** I am thinking about using Word (or another office text-processor) instead of La/TeX because I would like to get a visual presentation of my text. In my TeX editor (TeXmaker) I need to search if I wrote `\section`, `\subsection` or `\subsubsection` etc. I think it makes writing in TeXmaker much complicated for beginners. Maybe it's only my inexperience.

**Final solution:** My final solution is to write my thesis in TeX and [TeXnicCenter](http://www.texniccenter.org/) as very comfortable a advanced editor.
