Lyx is an open source, structured document creation system. Conceptually, it falls somewhere between a markup editor and a word processor. The creators of Lyx have coined the term WYSIWYM (what you see is what you mean) to summarise the approach that Lyx takes to document creation.

"OpenOffice.org is more reliable here, but has other quirks and shortcomings that prevent me from being really productive in it even when I don't need 100% MS compatibility for the job."
So the LaTeX itemize and enumerate environments are what you're searching for. :-)

I try to always use styles in Word, but unfortunately, sometimes explicit formatting works more reliably in Word due to bugs. This is mostly related to lists, both numbered and bulleted - they have a nasty habit to change formatting even when set using a properly defined style. This is only exacerbated by external tools working with Word such as Trados. I've had it both in 2000 and 2003 versions, though 2003 was slightly better in this respect. OpenOffice.org is more reliable here, but has other quirks and shortcomings that prevent me from being really productive in it even when I don't need 100% MS compatibility for the job.
