You used the example of inserting five rows into a table and said "In Microsoft Office there's no way to do [this] short of repeating "Insert Row" five times." At least in Word and Excel, you can do this by selecting five rows and choosing Insert Rows. (Not that this is much use if you don't yet *have* five rows in your table... *grin*) Possibly not readily discoverable (though I found out about it by just trying), but definitely there if you know about it.
Your general point about MS Office apps not providing the depth of Unix apps stands, of course, but Office does provide more "power user" features than may be visible on the surface.
