Charles....

I don't think that's what MS has in mind here, though it could be an  
unintended side effect. Rather, as I see it, they allow someone who  
has written a memo and who looks at the printout and finds it crowded  
to mouse over some alternate margin and spacing settings as graphical  
templates, immediately see the effect of applying that template, and  
then making a choice.

I know a lot of secretaries who'd like to be able to spiff up their  
boss' terribly formatted reports and memos but for whom the task is  
now too daunting.
