I turn to page layout programs when I'm not editing text (that was all
vi) and am concerned with things like differing margins on right and
left side pages (want a larger margin towards the spine), page numbering
on outer corners, and generating the N-hundred page PDF to send to the
printer (service, not device).

I'm sure there's an overlap with what a word processor can do, but in my
mind, one is targeted for smaller documents and one is targeted towards
larger.
