Wordprocessing incongruency

Format -> Character
Format -> Paragraph
Format -> Section
File -> Format Page?

Courtesy of Microsoft Office. OpenOffice has Page in the Format menu, where a novice would expect it to be. Page format doesn't necessarily impact the whole file.

One mouse action that I really, really miss when using MS-Windows is left-swipe middle-click cut-and-paste without touching the keyboard. I see that MSIE7 will begin to bring us one small part of middle-click functionality as a special case for that application only.

And... it's not clicking above/below that scrolls traditional applications, but which button you click with. While I've become unused to this, I do remember it being much, much faster for scrolling because you didn't have to find the elevator first and aim accordingly.
