ok... I give up... is the line above a joke? Otherwise I'm confused:
* What is quite unusual?
- Not having used Word seriously?
(isn't that like saying "military intelligence" ;-)
- Not wanting to look through zillions of menu/dialog levels?
(and maybe get side-tracked testing interesting settings etc)
* Power user of what?
- Lyx?
- MS Word?
Or do power-users usually don't do spell checking at the end?
