RE: What Are the Main Problems You Have with MS Word?

["Dan Hall" <dhall -at- san-carlos -dot- rms -dot- slb -dot- com>]

Gary Clark says one reason companies stick w/ Word is
"... that they all already know Word and how to use it."

Which would be an acceptable reason to use/sick with
Word, if it were true. However, most Word users know just
enough about Word to cause no end of grief - they know 
how to apply manual formatting, how to use para spacing
to adjust page breaking (ugh!), how to insert huge images,
and generally how to screw up a document so that it takes
hours of work to clean up.

If I had a dollar for every idiot who thinks he knows how 
to use Word because he can make a document 'look' like he
wants it to...

(Who found some paras this morning that someone had 
manually adjusted to have 48 POINT BEFORE SPACING! - Yes, 
I'm yelling :-> )

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. 
That is the only secret of style.  -- Matthew Arnold
