My addition: Exactly, the addition to the norm that we are advocating is to allow the author to have a view that is not necessarily reflective (however imprecisely) of the final rendered view. The author may have requirements that his/her reader doesn't have and my need to view the document in a different format when editing it, than it is intended to be ultimately displayed. We are not advocating a WYSIWYG view we are advocating the flexibility to have a view that is completely unrelated to the WYSIWYG view. Jutta
