It is not easy to create a Word Processing program in Revolution. Each edit field only has one alignment style, one set of tabs, etc. So the only way to have separate paragraph styles is to have multiple edit fields and flow between them.

As to why would someone want to create a word processing program? Simple: as an educational software publisher, we are developing a number of titles that call for a word processing program that provided guided writing instruction. We need to have tight integration and control of the word processor, and also keep it appropriate for the grade level.

A fuller-featured edit field, that supported paragraph styles would go a long way to allowing this functionality.

Since Revolution isn't quite up to this task, it looks like we will be developing these titles in Java.

I should think that creating a word processing program in RR should not
be a problem - nor would creating an excel like program.

I am not sure there would be much value to doing so - since those
programs already exist - but I think pretty much all of the standard
functionalities found in those programs could be duplicated in RR, as
well a host of other things they do not have.

In either RB or RR...so show me which RAD tool is up to the challage! :)
