JohnRich 4 #7 January 30, 2004 QuoteTrying to format any type of outline style document is such a pain ! There is an option where you can disable the auto-formatting, so that it doesn't try to do something for you, which you don't want it to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

quade 4 #13 January 30, 2004 In your subject line, do you really need to put anything after the word "Microsoft"? It's not just Word -- ALL of their fucking software blows.

murrays 0 #22 January 30, 2004 QuoteVi works like a champ! Try it, learn to love it! So, after reading your post I opened a Terminal window (Mac OS 10.3) and started Vi. I quickly realized I have become totally GUI dependent. Totally. I couldn't close the window fast enough. Reminded me of why I put the copy of "Unix for Mac OS X" back on the shelf after thinking maybe it would be good to learn some Unix to use with OS X......I like being able to point and click and not memorize commands. Although I'm a Mac man and not a fan of MS's operating systems, I use Excel about 6 hours a day and don't know what I'd do without it. I think Excel is the best program MS has written that I have used. I'm presently using Excel 98 for the Mac...equivalent to Excel97...and am upgrading to the OS X version in the near future. My co-worker also curses Word frequently...mostly for the lack of a proper "reveal codes" command that she used in Wordperfect to correct formatting problems. Too bad that choice has just about been eliminated from the Office Suite area.-- Murray "No tyranny is so irksome as petty tyranny: the officious demands of policemen, government clerks, and electromechanical gadgets." - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
