I haven't heard anyone mention Lyx or Klyx! I began with Klyx, then found out about Lyx. It is a front end to LaTex and I will never go back to anything else. I just used it to draft up a big proposal for the top guys, and I couldn't have been happier with the whole program. What I like is that it will keep you focused upon the content, rather than putzing around with formatting. v/r Mike STarke mgcon@neta.com
