Hi, Max. You have raised some good questions. I can only speak for
the Windows operating system here as I have no experience with Linux
or the Mac. I think the reason Microsoft Word is the editor of
choice is that there are Jaws and Window Eyes scripts that do things
like identify page breaks and such. I have not found a freeware
editor for rtf files where Jaws will identify page breaks. Even
WordPad will not do this, and it won't let you work with section
breaks either. Since page breaks must be checked during validation,
editors that don't announce their presence can't be used with
complete confidence. As for Google's document service, I have not
tried it. However, if their Blogger and GooglePages editor is any
indication, accessibility isn't that great, and formatting things is
a nightmare.
