I agree. LaTeX won't be WYSIWYG (but tell me if you make it).
But how about Scientific Word. Do you have some more information on it 
(sharewar, ftp, etc ...). Please let me know.
Another thing i'm looking for is a TeX previewer for windows, supporting the
font libraries. Does it exist? Where?

Thanks in advance
