There are large teams of people employed it would seem to
deliberately obfuscate the user interface on these programs, when

I do take your point Geoff (especially after I looked up
obfuscate) :-) .
Not wanting to go too far off topic, but I find MSWorks is such a case
with its periodic downgrades since version 4. I have stuck with
version 6. Unfortunately my version 4 could not be kept as it was an
OEM version. I would have bought a version 4 but by the time I
realised, I had kind of got used to v.6.
Microsoft are far from being the *only* offender regarding this issue.

I had to spellfeck it specially, ess and effs are interchangeable aren't
they?
