Actually, in MS Word the commonly available business card sheets are
preloaded, so you can make a business card without doing any formatting
whatsoever.  Which wouldn't be hard to do for kword and would make it
easier for less sophisticated users.  I agree with Vadim that "under the
covers" kword does this in a superior way to MS word.
