Default MS Word - what a mickey mouse pile of sh!t.

I have never come across such an ill thought out, unintuitive or illogical
piece of software.

Aw, c'mon... tell us what you really think!

What I really think is that you're a troll.

The loser oops I mean "user" took the time to find a Microsoft Newsgroup,
Subscribe, and post a thread about something he doesn't like.

No one talks to you much, huh? Wonder why?

Hmmm...

Gosh, shows you how much I know.
I thought it worked really well (mind you, I had to read the directions).

Yeah, I guess the millions of us that use and love (okay, maybe not *love*)
are wrong.

Millions of you use it because you're not given any other choice.

Is there a point in here?

I don't have to use Word, and in fact I moved to Word from other word
processing software (WordStar, XyWrite, WordPerfect). There are still some
features of those programs that I miss in Word. But by and large I feel I
understand the way Word works, and I'm comfortable with it. Most of the time
I just use it, some of the time I get frustrated with it, but more often I
am very pleased with it. I think most Word users have at best a love-hate
relationship with it, with love outweighing hate most of the time. I suspect
that's true with other programs as well (I certainly find it true of most of
the software I use--and not just software from Microsoft, either).

One of the things that most often makes the balance tip to the "love" side
for me is the extent to which Word can be customized to work the way I want.
I also love the fact that there is always uncharted territory to explore.
There are some features of Word that I may never need to use and
consequently never fully understand, but I am happy knowing that they are
there if I need them.
