If you want your definition of WYSIWIG, go buy a NeXT -- Display PostScript is the only way you'll get what you really want. However, by most people's definition of WYSIWYG, the two word processors above are perfectly adequate, particularly WFW since the original poster had been using Word for Mac, which by your definition is not exactly WYSIWYG either.
