As far as your software goes, if you really need revision marks (?) and style sheets my best guess would be Word (real WYSIWYG supposedly coming w/ 4.0) or possibly Nisus (new from Paragon Concepts, Inc.). I prefer quick and easy- WriteNow 2.0, though. For page layout, go for Tex or Interleaf (if you REALLY need tons of power and don't mind STEEP learning curves (plus $$$)). Drawing goes to FreeHand AND Illustrator (most pros say you need both because they end up complimenting eachother well.) Monitors are a little tougher yet, so I'll let you make your own choices concerning brand, but unless you put together color productions stick with a greyscale (or even monochrome if you use few photos). What do I use? WN 2.0, PageMaker 3.0, Illustrator '88, on a IIx with a NTX printer for an ~30 page monthly newsletter (small-time stuff). Hope it helps... Blake "Hey, where's MY fancy footer?"
