Mike,
In the writeup I'm making for Dom (describing the various Word (97)
views), I touch on this in a little bit of detail. After the writeup is
finished with respect to Dom's request, I (or someone else) could expand
it to thoroughly cover the group review features.
(And yes, I agree, these features should be provided some day to compete
with Word.)
