Why does everybody think this is an anti-M$ rant? I said the same thing 
about OO...

I guess I was actually expecting that it's not possible, but I thought 
somebody might know of a package that does it. (Somebody else already 
meantioned LyX, which is cute is a little fiddly.)

Perhaps the root problem here is that the octet sequence ultimately sent 
by my newsreader isn't a fantastically accurate reflection of my 
intended meaning...

It might shock you to know that I have on occasion attempted to use 
Word's so-called "help" system. Sometimes it gives you useful 
information, often it doesn't. And sometimes you just hunt for hours 
looking for a crucial snippet of information, and never find it. It 
depends...

(I am convinced that I cannot possibly be alone in hating that retched 
paperclip though!)
