I commented a while ago about the lack of consistency between 
components - for a supposedly "integrated" suite it actually seems 
quoite atrocious. Fields are restricted to a tiny set in Draw (try 
doing a mail-merge of a Christmas card!!), you've commented on 
tables; grouping of objects isn't possible in writer (try lining up 
inserted pictures), as isn't text flow between text boxes. The list 
goes on.

Dare one ask why?

For the life of me, I can't see why /all/ the facilities shouldn't be 
available in some form to /all/ components - even if the UIs are 
different to reflect the differing emphases of those components.
