I'm so f#@*ing sick of this counter-intuitve and just plain unacceptable industry standard program. Nothing it does makes any sense!!
btw - I'm not new to it, just plain tired of it, it's a waste of time setting up templates in this ass backwards program, when they easily could be done using .pdf's!!!

i think your statement should be, "BAN MS"
Word is their worst, but IE is almost as bad. Just not enough CRAP to clutter it up like word. I wish apple would come out with something like the rumors said they will.

Truly, "Ban MS" would've been more appropriate. I'm a big fan of Adobe apps and just wish there was something better that clients would use standardly for their office forms. You get so used to working with Macromedia and Adobe apps and then you hop onto Word and all your shortcuts do something else... I'm gonna kill that little paper clip guy if gives me one more "hint" of advice.

Aye-fucking-men.
Sucks major ass rim.If there was a button to push that would kill the person who came up with the (non-)logical features, it would be fucking jammed.

take it easy, it's just a word processor.

Too bad I never have to use it solely as a word processor, I'm busy trying to lay out about 30 templates for an architects offices' forms. What kind of program allows you 3 choices for "leading"!! Small, medium and large, no I don't want fries with that!

amen

Actually, it's not a word processr. That's what disturbs me! I don't fucking want it to REMIND me that I'm writing a letter or SUGGEST that I have a line break there or AUTOMATICALLY makes a dot or whatever.
I actually use WordPad, which is built-in and free if, against all odds, i touch my PC. And yes, I have a legal copy of Office.

NO IT IS NOT *JUST* A FUCKING WORDPROCESSOR IT IS A FUCKING HYPNOTIZER AIMING TO DRIVE US CRAZY. YOU KNOW HOW FUCKING HARD IT IS TO TURN 50+ WORD DOCUMENTS INTO FUCKING PROPER WEBPAGES WHILST NOT TRYING TO LOSE FOOTNOTES ETCETERA? NOT TO MENTION THE COMPLETELY RETARDED TEMPLATE SYSTEM WITH SO MANY FLAWS THAT I RECOMMEND YOU TO BETTER GO COUNT THE STARS IN THE SKY THEN TO START COUNTING THE FLAWS IN MS WORST APPLICATION. MS IS PLANNING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. IT IS DOMESTIC TERRORISM STARTING FROM YOUR HARDDRIVE AND NOONE KNOWS!!!

nice toastie.
but the design looks like a 'marriage' between XP and OS-X.
hehe..

well, it's gnome, which is very much inspired by OS X, but the Gtk UI system that most of its programs use is very close to windows UI.
