That is something I don't  like about WYSIWYG programs.  They really aren't. 

Anyway, it is faster to get him to simply select all the extra returns and hit 
[CRTL]-[enter] for page breaks.  It would fix the problem of making one small 
change (font, new paragraph, different printer) screwing up the entire 
document (like it is now).  And it would teach him one "new" thing about 
using a word processor correctly.

LyX is QT based now.  And TeXmacs is a really cool program as well.  And 
definitely use Kile if you go pure LaTeX.
