The differences are because of the nature of each program rather than being something arbitrary. With Word, for example, cells in the same column of a table can have different widths - something that's impossible in Excel.

Yes - I guess it's also something to do with terminology - I tend to think of a "cell" in Excel terms, and I'm still unfamiliar with some of the MSWord concepts like WholeStory, and I get wary of thinking of them in too "English" a way for fear of misleading myself.
I guess I'll just have to keep on learning, even though I retired 8 years ago.
Still, they say it keeps you young!....
