Customized forms, form letters, and mail-merge Can be stored and reused Structural templates can be defined by the user do it once, use it over and over without affecting original Like computers, text documents have both: a logical structure, which stays the same no matter how the document is represented, and a physical structure, that may be different on paper than on a screen; different with one page layout than another different from printer to printer When document gets put out: the “best fit” to that device is calculated from the logical structure that the computer knows. SO WHAT? What’s that mean? BEWARE: what you see is not always what you get. The physical structure of a document is system-dependent; i.e., fonts and tab spacing vary among systems. In addition, systems must often approximate the physical format due to limitations of the printer. As a result, formatting on the printout may not match the formatting shown on the screen.
