The two major WYSIWYG word processors for the PC which were written specifically
for mathematics editing are  T^3 by TCI in Las Cruces, and Chiwriter by
a guy named Hortmann in Michigan. Both are quite good.  T^3 (which we use)
is extrememly powerful, produces very nice output, and (in its new version,
which I haven't seen) has a converter to TEX.  Unfortunately, even with an 
academic discount, T^3 is hugely expensive.
Chiwriter is a bit less powerful, but much cheaper (<$100).
Both drive almost any printer.

If your technical needs are light, then things like Lotus Manuscript or
WordPerfect (with extra fonts) may suffice.
