Excel's OK.
I guess.
Whatever.
- Excel is its own thing. I've seen people do some crazy calculation's with it. Impressive even.monospaced

Many people can color-code their comments in word... hence... ugh! too many people think something's settled because they wrote notes all over a word doc, when they really just contradicted somebody else in color... so I ask for plaintext emails, as it forces people to SAY what they mean, not just color code and hope you figure it out....

When I'm in Word I find myself using the keyboard trying to select a tool and I almost inevitably replace copy by mistake. I hate it, but I can't escape the unending barrage of "content" that comes my way in that format. Ugh.

first off, when you're writing a letter - it's not just a letter.
every piece of communication that comes from your agency has to be perfect. if you think it doesn't matter, then you aren't serious about design and the image which your company portrays.
i use indesign. if you think you can import and resize an image or text in word™ faster than in indesign, you are on crack.

i use word all of the time
- the copywriters send me ad copy and changes in word.
- my current invoices export to word, i then export to pdf.- cmd + shift + s not being 'save as' is frustrating.

I hate all that Microsoft bullshit. Word is dreadful. Excel is for pencil-dicks. Powerpoint is like getting my penis circumcised all over again.

For anything but simple letters, word sucks ass!

I wouldn't mind using Google Docs to replace my Word, but the thought of some snooping Google employee sneaking through my documents in the cloud is just scary and irritating.
