Two quick follow-ups/corrections to the previous message
on this topic:

(1) Microsoft Word uses a galley (not "gallery") format, which
    permits this word processing program to efficiently handle
    very large files while militating against automatic
    repagination.

(2) According to published reports, Word will support IBM's
    Document Content Architecture (DCA).  (The reference to
    "DCF" in the initial message is assumed to refer to DCA.)
