Pardon, Sean, but most Windows users are content with WYSIAWYG (what you see is *almost* what you get) or WYSIWYGTTNTYOYO (what you see is what you get this time, next time you're on your own!).

Word, formatting on the fly each time a doc is open, is rather notorious for *not* being particularly WYSIWYG. In fact, that is why for some time I preferred AmiPro--it *was* truly a WYSIWYG product. Unfortunately, I was in the distinct minority!

(I will very happily update my understanding of how Word works in this regard *if* someone can show that it actually has done so--I do not intend this to be flame bait or inaccurate.)

The problem for Windows based Authors is their
attachment to WYSIWYG. Most find it very difficult to
relinquish it.
