I've been looking into three products: one is called "Dreamweaver" and comes highly recommended, although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. About $80 US for the academic edition ($400 otherwise). A lot of tech writers use "Framemaker"; again, it is expensive, and I don't know about an academic price. It is reputed to publish direct to the web as well as to paper. The last one is RoboHelp, which I've got in a demo edition. It seems a lot like FrontPage, only easier. But it is mainly for online publishing rather than print, though.
