I found this amusing, towards the end:

  Bravo comes from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center. Its orientation 
  is toward text formatting, and it can display multiple fonts, underlining, 
  etc. It makes heavy use of a graphical pointing device, the `mouse' 
  (see Augment). It is not programmable and offers no special help for 
  editing programs as opposed to text. For more information, see your
  local industrial espionage agent.

Some trivia: Bravo, the first WYSIWYG word processor, was developed by Butler Lampson and Charles Simonyi at PARC. Simonyi left PARC in 1981 to join Microsoft and led the Word and Excel projects.
