It's obvious to me that modern versions of (at least) MSWord *do*
leave invisible crap laying around inside the document that is, in
practice, very difficult to get rid of. I'm sure there are many
long-time MSWord users who know nothing about the "view all"
preferences item, and who spend non-trivial amounts of time tweaking
the physical appearance of runs of text because they don't have a
clear picture of what MSWord believes to be the structure of the
document.
