Deeper into the land of MS Word

[cdybedahl]

You know, I think that just up a few moments ago I had a theory that the reason I find it so unreasonably frustrating and hard to use Word was that I just didn't understand how it's supposed to be used. Then I found this article on how section breaks work in Word. And you know what? The people who designed that seriously need to lay off the crack. There is no way that storing one piece on information while displaying an other one entirely is good UI design. None. Neither is storing formatting information for a large part of a document in such a way that you can utterly destroy it by a misplaced backspace, at the same time as making it nearly impossible to move large sections between documents without completely fucking up formatting.

It's not me. It's them.
