Rah rah rah!  :-)

I think W4W is great for working on complicated multi-part documents 
like a thesis or a book, but it's not that great for graphically complex
documents like a newsletter with headlines and shaded boxes and columns
etc.  I've heard horror stories about FrameMaker.  The new PageMaker 4.0
has a built-in word processor (story editor) that makes it a very nice
self-contained DTP program.
