A correction on Murray's comment: Note that Word2002 handles all of
these types of line breaks (CRLF, LF, CR, and PS) and roundtrips them so
that your LF-only text file remains LF after editing.
I have to agree that Word is not in the class of "system default
editors"

I think there is no doubt very high interest in editors - especially
system default editors like notepad - that can both
- read plain text using any style line breaks (see Unicode TR)
- write plain text at least in LF or CRLF if not all the others too
(CR, NL, LS, PS)
