Re: Emacs as a word processor

[Gregory Heytings]

Thanks to all for your reactions.  Just to be clear, I do not need and 
would not use any of those features myself.  But I would like to 
understand / clarify what RMS wants.  So here is the list again, with 
checkboxes:

[ ] import / export Microsoft Word files
[ ] import / export Open Document Format (.odt) files
[ ] import / export RTF files
[ ] export to a PDF file
[ ] select a font and its size
[ ] apply a bold / italic / underline / strikethrough effect
[ ] use superscripts / subscripts
[ ] apply a left / center / right / justified effect
[ ] apply pixel-level fill / justification / indentation effects
[ ] change the font color and the background color
[ ] create / edit lists (with numbers / letters / bullets)
[ ] insert and change tables
[ ] insert pictures
[ ] define / use / modify styles
[ ] print preview / print
[ ] use footnotes
[ ] use multiple columns
[ ] change page headers and footers
[ ] operate on sections
