Yes, and those, along with the <bold> <italic> <underline> buttons,are a sure way to create an unmaintainable document. It is easy and
predictable at first and is fine if you only need to hack up a quick
page, print it out and not even bother to save it. But when writing
any kind of a long-lived document, direct formatting is a curse.
I have often said that the one way to fix Word is to have all direct
formatting controls hidden by default, and only allow style-based
formatting.
