Miroslaw,

You are correct there always more that can be done for some users. But
for most users, many who do not know about the editing features you are
referring to, the feature set they use is essentially from the 90's.

I know I do not use many of the features of Write, mostly because I do
very little actual document writing and what writing I do tends to be
simple documents closer to a short office memo.
