Neither Kword or Abiword supports footnotes. For footnotes and WYSIWYG, you can use Lyx or OpenOffice. While OpenOffice has a somewhat strange UI (It was even worse in StarOffice 5.2, which tried to take control over your desktop) it has all features you mention and unlike Lyx, it *feels* like MS Word. Some features of MS Word is missing of course, and it a resource hog.
