Hi :) I think it's either directly stated or just "hinted at" in a lot of marketing for word-processors in general.
There is often an expectation that a word-processor is the best tool for any type of documents. I've even found colleagues using Word to edit images, that then don't display quite 'properly' in any other version of Word or anything else. Mentioning the fact that other tools are often better at - for example, desktop publishing - often seems to annoy people who then seem to feel it necessary to argue against it and then grumble when their results are not as good as they'd hoped.
