Did anyone imply this? Before it balloons into
a flame war, I don't believe anyone implied that
if you aren't writing in a DTP tool, you can't
write.
I, for one, just happen to find writing far more
efficient in a DTP--because I think better when
I write and see the information and the visual
presentation at the same time.
