I could use word or notepad I suppose to do it offline annd then just paste it in at the last moment.  I use the provided editor simply because I am trying to get a standard look and feel and there is a very limited set of fonts with the provided editor.  I could of course just do the formatting at the end after the paste but... so far I don't. I do edit it as a draft, save it, work on it, polish it, then publish it.  I can edit it after publishing if I need to.
