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.
