No, they can't. Microsoft continuasly ignores user's needs, and this
is a prime example. 
This is why I use Claris products.
Claris used to be Apple (still is, depending on who you ask)
and SURPRISE, their stuff is all compatible, and uses the Mac interface.

I own Claris Macwrite, Resolve, Macproject and Filmaker, and use
ONE dictionary and help system between ALL of them.

I don't mean to insult you or degrade your software in any way,
I jus mean to score a point anywhere I can for a company and 
software system that I believe to be truely well designed.

I'm biased. (Olbviously). Slightly fanatic.
Claris forever!
