Re: EV_TBIT_ComboBox vs. EV_TBIT_DropDown

I am not entirely convinced, certainly not for the style toolbar
control. In Word if you type in a style name that is not on the list, it
creates a new style for you, based on the style at the insertion point;
this is great, and I use it quite often. I would really like that
behaviour in AW.

There have also been times when I needed to set a font that is not on
the list. At least in the Format->Font dlg it should be possible to
enter font name that is not on the list.

I am also not sure that editing and type-ahead find are mutually exclusive.
