Hey Chuck, I used to work down at webo. :)

Anyway, you might want to check out "doc" from the interviews package.
It is a real word processor, and saves things out into a very tex
like format.  But you don't need to know tex to use it. 

Like most word processors though, it needs some CPU crunch power to run
quickly.
