Lyx could do "Print Preview" last I checked (via DVI or PostScript).
Lyx is *not* a WYSIWYG editor, though. You might find klyx more
eye pleasing (though, I don't think it's been kept up to date).
Nice thing about the TeX backend is the strong structured document
style. Takes a bit of effort to generate formatting styles that are
very fancy. Has way better support for indices and bibliographies
than most word processors (but, again, it's a bit of work to set up).
