Thanks for providing part of an answer to my question. I hope we can
answer it completely if we focus on what I said in the OP: "the
important thing is the ability to make changes to typed document
content with the pen."
Bear in mind that routine editing operations require all sorts of
changes to text, such as: inserting, deleting or replacing individual
letters or sequences of letters to correct misspellings; inserting,
deleting or replacing single words or small groups of words; inserting
or deleting larger pieces of text in paragraphs, or entire paragraphs;
changing letters or words from lower case to capitalized and vice
versa; setting styles; turning boldface and italics on and off; and so
forth.
I tried to clarify my original inquiry with a couple of specific
statements about inserting and deleting "text." You responded by
telling me how I could insert or delete "a word."
Were you using "a word" as a synonym for "text"? Or does "a word"
literally mean "a word," so that to insert a four-word phrase I would
have to perform an "insert word" operation four times? What about
other common editing operations? Are they implemented with distinct
commands (or not at all), or does insert/delete work the same way no
matter what the unit(s) of text?
