95% of people use only 5% of the capabilities of Microsoft Word. The 5% that do know it’s capabilities use a different piece of software instead. According to statistics I just made up.

Just today a friend of mine who is in banking called me and asked how to create a slanted (rhombus) kind of background in a MS Word table. I didn't have a clue. So your statistics are accurate. When I need to create a rhombus I just create it using CSS 😅

Most word processing is just bloat.

Have a UI where text is shown and Display controls to change its layout. Done

The rest is bloat.
