Final Word II was sold to Borland and became Sprint and failed with many other text systems at the time, but Final Word originally grew out of MINCE and SCRIBBLE. Scribble was a TeX-like thing and MINCE is a recursive acronym (Mince Is Not Complete Emacs). In MINCE or EMACS it is possible to set up many complex procedures, but never was it demonstrated better than in that manual. Of course a macro processor of some general form, even something like ML/1, would provide what you seek as well. You would of course have to define your own macros. And Emacs-Lisp could do the job, too, if you want to learn it. As usual, the one with all the power sacrifices some ease of learning and use for the flexibility.
