Shaun,

I think the flaw in your logic is that there've been word processors, referred to as word processors, which could not do the things you claim are prerequisites of word processing applications. There is no finite definition that I'm aware of. TextEdit falls into a gray area where it isn't really either by the strictest definitions. Things are rarely black-and-white. And, of course, you're also, I think, defining word processors to some extent with the definition that better fits page-layout software, which is an entire different category.

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.
