I really liked LyX when I used it back in school for my proof-based class's homework. I even used it for my resume - which I have to say came out looking very neat and professional for not a ton of work! I don't have much of a reason to use it anymore, but I really appreciated this software. Even though it would occasionally crash on my admittedly unstable laptop Linux install (never tried it on windows)... I guess you could use Emacs or hobble through using a gui in MS word or something (actually there probably are some alternatives, I just never looked into them), but if you do a lot of LaTeX/text work you might want to look into LyX.
