But it should be noted that LaTeX (or more correctly, TeX) is considerably more unforgiving than most other tools when there are problems. At that point, you really need to know what you are doing.
TeX will produce a better-looking file, true. But OpenOffice or Word or ... well, most other tools will usually get you a somewhat worse document but rather faster and easier. If you yourself are the only reader, decide first if you need a better job than those standard tools can do. If not, ... no need to jump through hoops to get there.
