Try Nvu, or, if you are willing to pay, NetObjects Fusion
(I think 8 is the latest version
), it will create the whole design for you, but it is a little basic for more advanced use.
I didn't use Nvu much, but it is supposed to be quite good.
I edit a lot of my sites manually, saves loading the extremly slow Dreamweaver 8
Back to part of the original topic, I use Office 2003 for compatibility, for example the Microsoft Partner program documents require a Office 2003 only Security option.
