I am one of those guys who write a lot text and documents.
For a while I used FinalWriter (American/english version), but
unfortunally most of the texts I write are in Swedish.
I will buy a swedish version. There are only one problem:
My main focus of a wordprocessor is content and
structure - not layout.

When Papyrus are ready, many people finally have a recent
and decent officesuite. But my problem still persists, I need
structure and almost every office application, regardsless of platform is about design and layout.

So highest in my christmas wish-list is an annoncement on
MDC that Latex, Tex and most important; LyX are being ported to MorphOS

If I knew C and had some time, I would do it myself...

Umm, depends on what you want. I've got the Mac version. I do like it but ... when it comes to international writing, it's particularly bad ATM. I'm writing a request for better int'l support these days. The new Nisus Writer Express seems to be much better in this regard (haven't tried it yet though). It's a pity, Papyrus is a clever and amazing little program. They did lots of things right that always annoyed me in Word. Pity they messed up int'l writing so much.

I did port a full and recent TeX environment including LaTeX, pdfTeX and all that some time ago, but it's on my old Amiga's harddisk However I think a more or less recent version of TeX/LaTeX should be included in the GeekGadgets archive ...

As for LyX, it uses the QT toolkit. I guess it will take some effort to port it.

One thing I've been working on is an editor which is a bit similar in idea to Lyx, however since this is mostly for my own use I target creative writing and literate programming (integrated in CodeWarrior) only ATM. Esp. no plans for WYSIWYG tables and formulas. It does not have a trunkload of features, but what's there are some novel ideas not found in any other WP/editor yet. It's written with Cocoa though, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to port it to MOS due to the lack of a decent textedit MCC for MUI ... which I'd love to write but don't have the time

LyX seems to be moving in the direction of gui toolkit independent. From the beginning it was based on Xforms (And also the version I am running) but work are on the way with GTK and GNOME. I wonder if it is difficult making it MUI?
Well well, time will tell.
If I just could figure out how to force FinalWriter finalwriter to open on a screen specified by me. I need to change the colors (0-16). Any clues?
