You may want to look into TeX/LaTeX. It has the advantage of
being platform-independent and is used by a growing number of
journals for electronic submissions. More effort is required to
learn it at first than, say WordImperfect, but the results are
worth the effort.

You may want to contact the TeX Users Group for information:
