Where is the word count tool?

Oh great, I guess we are supposed to be mind-readers and just know all this. "Could you provide some steps to reproduce the behavior?" To be fair, I'm quite glad that Microsoft can't see everything I'm typing in my word processor. I do like /some/ degree of privacy! Isn't MS supposed to be telling US where these behaviors are? Didn't someone test this before releasing it? Why to users have to point out the problems? But I guess if there is no regard for the amount of lost productivity caused by someone in MS not having anything better to do than completely change the UI, there certainly is no interest in telling customers how the new UI actually works (when it does). Well, I loathe the new UI with a vengeance, especially the way common hot key sequences are really long (altEF replaced with altHFDF, and try getting to custom document properties just using the keyboard!) whilst rare actions have really short sequences (altPH for hyphenation settings and altPJ to set the columns -- both things that I do once and for all in the document template), and the way I keep having to switch between ribbon tabs when on previous version I could have left all the relevant toolbars open for the task I was performing (when I'm putting a series of figures drawn in a different tool into a document, I hate the way the crop icon goes away when I add a caption -- I reckon it pretty much doubles the distance the mouse has to travel to do the job). But for all that, when I had trouble with word count I came here and found that the function I was used to was still available and still worked as it should, so credit to Microsoft for leaving it in. And when I come here with what is effectively a bug report, what on earth do you expect /any/ responsible company to do other than ask for the steps to repeat the behaviour? |
