As a LyX fanatic, I was going to mention it, but Walter mentioned a brochure, which might require a lot of complex page-formatting. Sure, you can do that in LyX (people have used it for fanzines, for example) but you usually have to know a fair bit of LaTeX to get exactly the effect you want. Although I'm not keen on KWord, it does that kind of frame-based stuff pretty well. But for general-purpose writing, Civileme is absolutely right. On the occasions where I have to use "normal" word processors like Word or Starwriter, they drive me crazy now. Robin
