Several WYSIWYG systems have implemented "style sheets" that define the
layout and look of a block of text. By changing the style sheet you
can make a global change on all text using that sheet. This is NOT anywhere
near as powerful as macros. But it is a step in the right direction.
I have heard that Framemaker goes even farther towards global design,
and still provides a screen preview and interactive layout.
