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... "Treesy" wrote in message ... Is there supposed to be a question in here somewhere??

Gosh, shows you how much I know.
I thought it worked really well (mind you, I had to read the directions). -- Regards; Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "David" wrote in message ... I have never come across such an ill thought out, unintuitive or illogical piece of software. |

Yeah, I guess the millions of us that use and love (okay, maybe not *love*)
are wrong. "RWN" wrote: Gosh, shows you how much I know.

Why, I'm not quite sure......so that's why most people don't have a choice. Private individuals certainly have a choice, but I should think they are far outnumbered by those who use Office at work. -- Registered Linux User no 240308 Just waiting for Broadband to complete the conversion!(4 weeks and counting!) gordonATgbpcomputingDOTcoDOTuk to email me remove the obvious! |

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. -- Suzanne S.

I'm curious as to why I didn't experience it, then. I bought a new computer
with Office XP installed. I set it up from scratch (didn't import an old Normal.dot), and I don't recall ever having to change this setting. My charmed life again, I guess! g -- Suzanne S.

I bought a new computer with Office XP installed. Could be that an later SP is part of that installation? I wouldn't be surprised if MS changed that default setting in an SP, somewhere down the line... I don't KNOW this is the case, but they have to have become as tired of the support questions as we did.

I don't think an SP is involved because when I bought my computer Office XP
was brand-new--so new that Dell was still offering a choice of Office 2000 or XP (and I selected 2000 but got XP anyway, which I was annoyed about initially but later grateful for). -- Suzanne S.
