Please let me add an "amen" here. MS Word tries to do too much; it is
not and never should have tried to be a page layout program. I hope that
you will not make the same mistake. Jacques' suggestion that you include
a "Normal" layout mode is excellent. For basic word processing, AbiWord
works well and should concentrate on its strengths. If users feel that
they absolutely HAVE to have all those formatting tweaks, they can
always write their own code and slap it in there. I'm happy just
exporting AbiWord to FrameMaker for paste-up. Thank you for this fine,
*streamlined* program.
