Yet, somehow all the WYSIWIG editors beat out nroff and WordPerfect. Personally, the trick to writing with a word processor is to not waste too much time on the formatting, and just write. Also, learn to use the "sytles", just like you use CSS in an HTML file. I first learned to do significant writing in a WYSIWIG editor using Samna/Lotus Ami (accent on the i). Then Word, then Open/Libre Office. All of these have style lists. Use them! Don't waste time clicking on all the fonts, sizes, spacing, etc block after block. The "Styles" menu seems to be one of the best kept secrets in Word and similar word processors.
