There is always that thread that you think will get tons of interest (you know, everyone talking about opening in Word for the past eight years), but it just fades slowly into the sunset.
Bert, I think the reason this has not attracted much attention is that it is, at best, an interesting quirk in the program, but isn't very useful. Or to quote a learned man,
it is still enough steps to make it not worthwhile doing especially given the formatting.
I could do this: type a letter in the letter writer. Hit "select all" and "copy" into a blank Word document. Import that Word document into AC. This would probably be fewer steps as compared to your technique. It would yield an equally poorly formatted, fairly useless document (albeit in Word). No offense to your discovery.
Lawrence, what I have heard is that the letter writer will become a target for improvement after practice management is released.
