I've had the same frustration with full WYSWYG editors.  My friends
and I used a full-WYSWYG editor while working for Xerox, and still we
typed in our papers using a straight text editor, then imported them
to WYSWYG (STAR) for the final touches.  My conclusion that WYSWYG was a
closet failure for anything but page layout tasks.
