Maybe because of cutting & pasting from a different document that used the

rewrite that stuff again. (I know that this could most likely be taken
care of by a style sheet.)

I agree with you on this one. Mixing the two in the *same* table is not a
good idea.

Editor vendors usually charge more than enough, so they should indeed add
a feature that makes it worth spending the money on an editor ,-)
