Nobody suggested that.

I said that it would be useful to be able to use a "standard issue"  
word processor to write drafts. As I explained in a subsequent  
message, what I meant by that is any word processor that can generate  
a document with styles. Word is one of those word processors, but  
certainly not the only one, and you'll never hear me recommend Word  
for anything.
