Speaking of Word, I have a couple of comments:

1) I need to be able to have styles that apply to any selected text
not just paragraphs.  This is an important generalization of the idea
of styles.

2) Make the renumber dialog remember the last settings i used on this
document, I hate having toselect "by example" every time.  In general
have all dialogs remember state.

3) allow the automatic regeneration of table of contents and
renumbering before a printout. (this could be an option).  Currently
to print I must renumber and then rebuild table of contents before
printing. 

4) WHy does renumber  insist on counting the table of contents in the
numbering, (messing up the numbers)?  I have to go into outline mode
to prevent this from happening!

5) Word needs to allow dynamic numbering of diagrams.  In addition many
times I refer to "please note as in section 1.2.3.2"  Why cant the
section number here be a dynamic thing so that renumbering affects it?


These are just some requests from a *committed* Word user.
