First off, thanks for the input from all.

So you write in a text editor, add in your own codes?  OK.  This is new 
to me since I've used MS Word for ever, and Open Office to a lesser 
extent in the past 2 years.  I dread using Open Office for reports :( 
It's a huge struggle every time to get stuff to look nice.  All the 
rhetoric about TeX sounds good.  So now I will see.  Lyx seems ok to me 
so far.  The option to edit directly is always there - I think.

Anyway, time to fire up the Chevelle SS396, pop the clutch, burn some 
rubber, and haul butt up the learning curve :)
