Hello,

It is not the will to duplicate programs but to be able to have access  
to such basic features as paragraph level text formating.
I don't know why it should be something so out of this world to add it.

Drop shadows are thrown in and I don't think anybody wants to  
duplicate Photoshop.

If I would have to vote for text field enhancement or drop shadow, the  
first one would be far more usefull to me.

Take a look at:

Best,
