If you really need to get into formula type-setting and long thesis
documents, I'd *really* recommend lyx (www.lyx.org). On Debian
unstable, there's a fairly recent package for that one. It's
basically a front-end for LaTeX. If you do scientific papers, you
should *really, really* try it :-)
For real WYSIWIG, I'd recommend the new AbiWord (version 0.7.12), it
supports everything but tables, for slow but feature-complete
WYSIWIG, StarOffice isn't a bad choice. All of these programs are
either free as in speech or as in beer, and all are going to be
"really" free in the near future.
Hope that helps...
Yours Malte #8-)
