After using Word Perfect for a few years, and being happy with it, I now
find that I need a word processor that can EASILY deal with the usual
scientific character set and mathematical formulas. Easy integration of
graphics would help too. (Physics, chemistry, electronics, etc., is the
kind of stuff I'm dealing with.)

What's the best for this kind of work? ProWrite? Excellence? TeX?
I know that TeX can do just about anything, but how easy is it to learn?
Does TeX provide any kind of WYSIWYG ability?

I've got an A3000 with a 24 pin printer, and an HP DeskJet+ available if
that makes a difference to your recommendation.
