With a decent dvi previewer you should be able to do all the proof checking you would do in a WYSIWYG system before printing. But, you may say, you have the turn around time for the edit/TeX/preview cycle. Using (Gnu-)Emacs in an adapted (La)TeX-mode you can quite easily select a small section of text to independently process and preview (~10s to get screen image) to get detailed layout right then process and preview a section (LaTeX provides \includeonly for this) to get overall page placement right. david shepherd INMOS ltd
