Which is not exactly true: while it is labelled as a Text processor,
it certainly uses features very typical for desktop publishing, not
really standard in text processing. Maybe that is one of the reasons
so many people don't use KWord but tend to go to OpenOffice.org
instead: it is actually a DTP tool, although lacking quite some
features seen in other DTP applications, and sad to say so, it is not
intuitive at all. If it were a text processor, it wouldn't require to
choose editing tools every time you try to click on a text...
