RE: Open door for Word flames...

The grammar checker does serve a purpose--I do enjoy running it every now 
and then when I need a good laugh.

Another feature I haven't seen mentioned that drives me bonkers is the 
"automatic" page numbering. It gets in my way all the time. I'm writing 
away, then I want to print one page, and Word says, "wait a minute, I need 
to repaginate all of this 236-page document before I let you print page 
one." And then the computer cranks its gears for 15 minutes before the job 
is queued. Or, I'm paging through a document, and reach one page I want to 
print. I "print current page," then realize that a totally different page 
went to the printer, because "current page" means the one the cursor is on 
(not the one I'm looking at). Frame doesn't lead you on like that.

The first job I had at Microsoft was indexing a 3-volume manual. I was 
saved from total insanity by the fact that our department had a 
finish-person who was in charge of page numbering and producing the final 
paged document. As it was, I had to work several weekends just to work 
around the unique page numbering system.
