Changing TeX documents seems tedious (without a WYSIWG) if doing it by hand. Wordperfect and Microsoft Word hid the font/formatting commands from the user to produce a WYSIWG editor, hence the question. Is there support for the same capability in the FSF environments for TeX. TeX seems to be 36 years old (circa 78 in Knuth's TeX Manual) and it may be a good thing to change to a language that contains a more attractive interface, allows graphics/pictures, and provides the multi-computer/multi-terminal support that TeX has.Yes, there are things out there. It's kind of off-topic for the cygwin list since it has more to do with TeX than cygwin. Lyx is one example; there may be others.
Emacs users can also try auctex (which includes a WYSIWG preview feature).Another option is TeXworks, available from Cygwin Ports, but the last time I tried to use it (a couple years ago) I ran into serious problems that I couldn't solve. See the thread starting at
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-03/msg00060.html and continuing at https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2012-04/msg00001.html I don't know if anything has changed since then.
