Yup, a text editor isn't a word processor. They have very distinct
functionality. Even though some have more than others you would never
get by in the corporate world with Text Edit when formatting and such
plays a major part in document editing and creation. What if you need
to create a form? You couldn't dream of doing it in Text Edit. If you
could we wouldn't be trying to get I Work accessible.

Hi All,
I just got a message telling me that someone went to an apple store

person said no.
Well, considering that Apple considers TextEdit a text editor and
not a real full-blown word processor, I suppose they were correct.
Especially since they probably said, "But you can get iWork 08 for
$79." Mind you, the salesperson could have said, "Well, Leopard
comes with a text editor that has most of the word processor
functions that most people use", then asked what they wanted to do
with it mostly, then made a recommendation based on what the person
said they needed a word processor for, but maybe that's why I'm not
a salesperson.
