Although they are trying and, what they have done so far is good, they are not doing it fast enough or being “cool” enough and they need to get a move on. I fear as you do – if it doesn’t happen soon, they will remain irrelevant in the eyes of the general consumer. If Google were to bring out a fully fledged desktop operating system tomorrow, I think that would seal the fate of Windows with the general consumer – The majority of general users will move to Google by the end of the year.

It all seems to have gone downhill since Steve Sinofsky left the organisation.

Microsoft need to hire developers to create Apps, because no one else seems to be doing it. The quality of apps doesn’t really matter – if you can just say that “we have 1.5million apps”, that should do it. The public at the moment are quite shallow, and anyway, as if you will be able to fit 1.5 million apps on your device.

So, yes, I think your observations are spot on. I’ll continue to support them, though and hope that they will come thru.

All the best

Hello Andrew. Thanks so much for taking the trouble to investigate this. The Text Frame option looks really good and I think I shall stick with that.
As for the Style Seperator, just to see, I saved my document as a Word 2003 document. Once in compatibility mode, it operates exactly as I want. Save it as a 2013 document, and it stops working – or, works as you have described.
