I suggest that you start with NVU < http://www.nvu.com/index.php > if you opt
for a staged migration from Windows to Linux (NVU is inter-operable). There
are tools for Linux such as Quanta Plus, whose final product is better than
anything you can achieve with the WYSIWYG paradigm.

Consider content management systems as well. All the styling is often
provided in the form of templates and all you need to do is study some
(X)HTML markup or use some simple Office-like toolbar (e.g. TinyMCE under
WordPress or simplified languages such as Textile in TextPattern).

That's possible too, but it tends to result in poor output which looks
unprofessional and does not scale well (sometimes assumes fixed size, e.g.
A4 paper).
