I am looking for a GOOD wordprocessor, and I am asking for any advice 
from people on the net.  Here are my hopes:

-- Almost any computer (if it's small and I don't have it, I'll buy
   it, if it's large I'll get access e.g. UNIX)
-- What you see is what you get
-- Rulers, many of them, ones that stay in text and automatically
   reformat the text when it changes.
-- Extended character set (overstrikes, unusuals and internationals)
-- Headers, footers, title page, etc
-- Automatic footnotes and/or endnotes
-- Numbered paragraphs, also indented paragraphs (nroff macro style)
-- Table of contents and indexing capabilities
-- Multiple files

Word processors that I have used but have not been satisfied with:
	Word-11, DecWord, Vi/Nroff, and WordStar

Basically I am looking for a good word processor to write technical 
and university style work on.  Please send me e-mail on what word 
processor you use and how it stacks up...
