If these are your requirements, I would say, forget about working with XML.
Writing a XML document is not equal to working with Word. In XML you 
must be aware of where you are, and tell the editor what do you want to 
write.
In fact, it is good, because you must know what you want to say, and 
then you make it real.
But you can't just write letters and place bolds and italics, it is much 
more than this.
If you want word, then use word. But you can't use XML and use it like Word.
