Abstract
This paper introduces particular results on analysis of usage patterns in contemporary word processing applications. We evaluate how interaction styles are used accordingly to frequency of usage of underlying user commands or semantical categories of user commands. We show that menus are used as a prevalent interaction style and report usage patterns on toolbars and keystrokes. Furthermore, the differences in usage of toolbars and keystrokes on frequently used commands are evaluated.
