If not for the WYSIWYG requirement I'd suggest some variant of TeX. Based entirely on reputation, I'd think PowerPoint could do this fairly easily, provided the symbols you need are in one of the installed fonts. Have you tried the corresponding OpenOffice tool? (I think it may be called "present" or some such.) If I were going to do something like this, and didn't want to take time to learn a new tool, I'd try using Visio -- one of only two apps which I've found useful enough to get me to voluntarily put up with Windoze. Dunno (yet) how well it will run under wine; this is one of several things I intend to try if I can ever find the time to get a newer FreeBSD system set up. (Wine is reputed to not work at all well on 6.1.) Ports/graphics/dia is somewhat similar to Visio, I think more limited, but perhaps sufficient depending on just what you need to do.
