The Bitcoin whitepaper was created with OpenOffice.
Wright tried to create forgeries with both Word and OpenOffice, but he was unable to reproduce the illustrations as vector art and the bitmaps were noticed. He also got burned over and over again by hidden data in Word (and OO) documents revealing things like the fact that the document was started off as a copy and paste of Satoshi's and then edited to look like a precursor.
Wright appears to have decided to try to solve both problems by declaring that the whitepaper was really created with LaTeX-- since tex files don't have hidden metadata and he could use an online conversion tool to convert the vector illustrations.
Too bad he seems to have been unable to get LaTeX running locally, so he used overleaf--an online LaTeX editor-- which recorded his every revision creating his forgeries.
He tried to claim overleaf did not store any such data, too bad it's substantially open source and his opponents included actual software developers.
You can see him incrementally twiddling the spacing trying to get the line wraps in the same positions from the beginning of the document down to the end.
Our barrister's cross examination after running this video was quite stunning. :)
