Word - automatically correcting spacing and indenting
I find it VERY VERY annoying when I am using word to take notes or write an
essay, and it automatically corrects my space indentations (especially using bullets and " - ") and word choice. 90% of the time, it is correcting something that I did not wish to have corrected. This is supposed to decrease my time, but in fact, it causes me to take even longer because I have to fix all the incorrect corrections made. It also causes me to get very stressed out and delays my studying/essay writing time even more becasue I have to take breaks to calm myself down. I believe it is much easier to allow the user to indent themselves, instead of having the computer "guess" at how the user wants the indenting to look like. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Just locate all of the "auto-..." options you don't want, and disable them. Use a fixed-pitch font (e.g., courier), and do your own enter/return at the end of each line, and you can reduce the product down to the functionality of a manual typewriter! Lest this is coming across as totally sarcastic, I'll add that, when writing computer program code, this is exactly what I do, including using spaces for indents rather than tabs. Such a minor thing over which to get stressed out! Lynn Killingbeck |
