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! :)
