Abstract
Text processing has always been one of the main productivity tools. As the market is expected to approach saturation, however, two main consequences need to be taken into consideration. On the one hand, we can expect a shift of interest towards value-adding text processing tools that give the user an operational advantage with respect to, e.g. translation support, multi-media integration, text retrieval, and groupware. On the other hand, any such extensions will gain widest acceptance if they can be used as complements to or from within the most widespread text processing systems.
