Make Word simple to use
The Word program which is part of Microsoft Office 2003 makes the simple task
of inserting or drawing a horizontal line across the page of a document cumbersome at best, extremely frustrating at the worst. Why does Microsoft have to make that simple task so difficult? Clicking on the Line icon on the Drawing Toolbar brings up a box where one is to "Create your drawing here," when all I asked it to do was create a line. And to make matters worse, when I attempt to use the help feature, it takes me to Office Online, and presents me with information I don't want. This software does so many different things, and is so complicated, they lost sight of being able to do simple things like being able to insert a simple horizontal line in a document. Microsoft, get with the program. |

Microsoft has the worst help that I could ever imagine. Millions of scenarios
that are not even close to what you ask about when you query them. Sheish!! Microsoft needs people in the company who can think in real world terms!

The amazing thing is _not_ that it is difficult to draw a line in Word, but
that you can do so at all. It is, after all, a word processing program, not a drawing program. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
