Default A Modest Proposal

Where do you stop?

What about those in the medical fields? Legal, accounting, engineering, to
name a few, also have their own needs. And let's not forget the senior
citizen. Even if they did do a "scholar" version - which school should they
use as a reference?

Everyone does their own thing with Word. There are add-ins available that
will accomplish just about anything you need. There's only so much that one
company can do. The tools you ask about are basically there; you just need
to learn how to use them. And some of the tasks need to be done manually -
you'll never learn how to do it if you depend on a computer to do
everything.

Hi all,

I have been using Word 2007 for a few months now. It's a very versatile
product, but I think its functionalities are very much influenced by the
needs and requirements of business/law/corporate work environments.

What about education/academic environments? I am referring to
undergraduates/graduates/scholars who need to have a flexible and powerful
tool to make citations, quotations with links to the quoted/cited document
etc. What I am suggesting is that MS look into the requirements of
university students and scholars and create or add functions that help
them do what they do when they write a paper, a study etc.

Is a "Word 200x Scholar" foreseeable in the future? Wouldn't this open a
new market for Word?

Thanks
