I couldn’t agree more. Word processors should not have freaking toolbars at all. Keep that mess in the overhead menus.

EDIT: how come the page wrap always catches me quoteless, dammit?

Yeah - that kinda gets to my complaint. With so much technology everything is on the surface right off the bat. Heck, how many icons are on screen when you first fire up a word processing program? I’ve word-processed for more than a decade, and had little use for more than maybe 10 icons - open doc, save, print, cut, paste, bold, ital, underline… So why don’t they hide the icons for drawing, columns, etc., and leave it to people who want to do those things to enable them?
