The real problem is that we are STILL formating documents for 8.5x11 paper.
Paper is so yesterday. And, when we tip towards web publishing and forget paper, that is when MS will start to have problems maintaining it's grip on office suites. The amount of work that goes into formating all of our documents so that they print on 8.5x11, when in actuallity they rarely get printed, is somewhat ridiculous. This ammounts to BILLIONS wasted every year. It is also VERY limiting, since you can not put links to background info for those that need it, or detailed figures for those want to see more details, or sound, or videos, or . . . .
