Have you tried LyX? It's a front end to TeX/LaTeX that many people find use= ful. Another program which you might try is TeXMacs. In my experience (I've= tried both, briefly), I was sort of torn: LyX seemed to work better, but T= eXMacs provided a proper WYSIWYG display. The downside to TeXMacs, I found,= was the lack of suitable documentation. It was also slow and somewhat bugg= y, but this was several years ago and I would expect it to have improved si= nce. There are some commercial front ends as well, if you feel like paying. LyX: http://www.lyx.org/ TeXMacs: http://www.texmacs.org/ Cheers, Jason On 16 May 2010, at 10:56, S. B.
