This website has plenty of WYSIWYG editors:

KompoZer is pretty decent if you don't have access to Dreamweaver.


If you are looking for a non-WYSIWYG editor, check out Notepad++ (also in above link). I keep a copy on a jump drive so I can use it anywhere when I am in a pinch.
 
I've used KompoZer, which is Wysiwyg, but has many bugs, so I gave up.

Don't use FrontPage, it's html isn't standard and works bad outside Internet Explorer.

I use Namo 2006 (=v7), it's affordable and good. v6 was bugged, avoid it. v4 was good and fast (but older now). I didn't use v5, said to be bugged but v5.5 was said to be good.
