Exactly. Although I use a text editor for most of my "word processing" tasks (since they are small), for a novel the original poster probably really means a word processor. I used Word Perfect, when it was new!, running on an A1000 multi-floppy system for all the writing I had to do for my Master's degree, and I never really used much of the program's potential, footnotes, endnotes, index, etc.
I thought at the time the Amiga version of WP would be as powerful a word processor as anyone would need in their life, and as I'm usually using lesser text editors these days, I think I may have been right.
Note that it is a 'word processor' not a 'Desktop Publishing'/graphics layout program like Pagestream or M$word - that is a different category.
