Thanks for all of the suggestions. I only found two WYSIWYG
processors that looked suitable *and* allowed me a demo (even a
crippled demo) - StarOffice and CorelSomething. StarOffice ate up 50
megs of memory at startup, and then crashed. CorelWhatever's
installation didn't work. Bzzt. I'd still love to hear more
suggestions for page layout programs - any license. I still think
it's crazy to spend a lot sight unseen, but a reommendation would go
far.

Thanks, that's great. Last time, I used wrapfig, picinpar, and
graphicx (I relied on Lamport and _The LaTeX Companion_), and suffered
greatly because I didn't know (& still don't) how to make 4-up sheets.
I just set \paperwidth &c. for my page size, printed separate
postcript pages, and used xfig to stick 2 pages on a sheet side.
Actually, I didn't even do that - my printer couldn't handle the whole
side, so I fed each sheet thru 4 times, one for each page. I love the
unix way, but I try to avoid personally being part of the data
pipeline...
