                 systems that are oriented to an author's preparation of
                 printed material must permit the flexible
                 specification, modification, and reuse of the contents
                 of the document. Interactive document preparation
                 systems commonly have incorporated simple
                 representations---an unconstrained linear list of
                 document objects in the `What You See Is What You Get'
                 (\WYSIWYG) systems. Recent research projects have been
                 directed at the interactive manipulation of richer
                 tree-oriented representations in which object
                 relationships are constrained through grammatical
                 specification. The advantage of such representations is
                 the increased flexibility that they provide in the
                 reusability of the document and its components and the
                 more powerful user commands that they permit. We report
                 on the experience gained from the design of two such
                 systems. Although the two systems were designed
                 independently of each other, a common set of issues,
                 representations, and techniques has been identified. An
                 important component of these projects has been to
                 examine the {\WYSIWYG} user interface, retaining the
                 naturalness of their user interface but eliminating
                 their dependencies on the physical-page representation.
                 Aspects of the design of such systems remain open for
                 further research. We describe these open research
                 problems and indicate some of the further gains that
                 may be achievable through investigation of these
                 document representations.",
