I know, and as long as the likes of microsoft caters to the lowest
common denominator my voice is in the minority
ps I do write the occasional wishlist item but this issue encompasses
every dialog box, if they pay me to sit with a programmer I will go
through each menu item and tell them what is missing
with all their testing why didn't they have a look at the competition,
in general Word and WP fall short in different areas, there are many
many good ideas in WP that word never got close to
One of them, reveal codes, is a goldmine of information, without it I
have had to wipe out all the formatting in some files and start over
just to correct some little quirk. I have read the so called reasoning
behind not having an equivalent in Word, and its hogwash: I have also
read how to figure it out myself painstakingly, well why isn't it a
window that does the same? that was my first wishlist item ever, others
on these NGs have hoped for it, MS just ignores it, they are right, we
are wrong
remember the uproar over that PP-XP page with "presentation starting",
tell me who in their right mind would have wished for that? who at MS
decided on that pathetic stupidity?
ps I need to vent sometimes, I just spent a week making several versions
of the same file because of PP limitations
