But you could say you could prepare text in a text editor and just import it so no need for text tools. All I was pointing out was that I used a document processor over 20 years ago that could rotate, pan, scale, crop graphics etc in situation. All of those things are useful to be able to do without having to go back to a different application. Granted, it's not a big issue for me, just an observation.
