It
may be anything that you can do on Microsoft Office Word. From spell
check,
bullets, to find and replace or starting a new document. Any help would
be
appreciated thou.

godmongo said:I am sorry JoAnn but I need only serious people to answer my question thank
you. You seem to be a closed minded individual who is just looking to
insult
someone. And for your information a college professor asked me that
question
so it can't be that stupid. Just FYI if you are not smart enough to
answer a
question don't get mad and start throwing insults around. It's best that
you
don't even get involved if you don't know the answer. Thanks but no
thanks.

Charles Kenyon said:JoAnn is a serious person. But you haven't asked a serious question. It is
almost like asking how many colors there are. It depends on what you mean
by color. I believe the classic scholarly question along these lines is
"How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" You (or your professor)
may want to spend your time debating such questions, but don't expect
everyone else to spend their time doing so.
If you asked how many menu commands are built into Word's edit interface,
that question would have an answer. (And I would tell you to go ahead and
count them as it is your homework, not ours.)

How many features does microsoft word have? Has anyone ever gotten

Its well over 2500. Thats an answer to my question. Someone else was able
to answer this were you and the others could not. Oh and if you notice my
question has two parts. The second part states "Has anyone ever gotten the
count of features that are on word?" This one in a way would have eliminated
my first question. Just by someone answering "We don't think so." or "Maybe
someone has but we don't know who or what the answer is." Well since
apparently none of you had, your answer should have been No. So no one needs
to reply anymore.

John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto said:1,800 and No.
There! Suzanne is right, and you are unbelievably stupid. Arrogant too,
but stupid people usually are...
You see, you have not defined what a "Feature" is. How could anyone count
things when you haven't said what it is? Duh!
Still, if you want to go ahead and believe whoever gave you a number of
2,500 to a question for which there is not answer, you go right ahead
Someone once told me that the most important thing when you find yourself
arguing with an idiot is to ensure that he is not doing the same...

stupid. Why? I was once told the only stupid question is the one not asked.
And the rest of you have done no better. Instead of asking me to reword my
question you fling insults at it. I would have been glad to have done that.
But instead I was defending myself against people I don't even know. And in
turn do not know me. John to say someone is stupid puts you in the pool with
them. You don't know me so how can you judge if I am stupid or not. As far
you statement "Someone once told me that the most important thing when you
find yourself arguing with an idiot is to ensure that he is not doing the
same..." you failed. Espeacially when you said "Duh!"
I apologize to all for bringing this question to your attention. It was my
hope that someone had heard this question before and could help me with it.
Like I told JoAnn before she started insulting me "Any help would be
apperciated." To tell you the truth I didn't know what the Professor meant
by features either. That's why I gave some examples of what I thought they
were to JoAnn when she asked.
And this was not my homework in any case. It was just one of those
questions that teachers ask to make you think. And I did, I thought that
there were too many to count. And some of you kind of gave me that answer
but not in a kind way.
I don't know why I am explaining this to a group of people I don't even
know. Maybe because I reached out for help and knowledge and got nothing in
turn. So maybe the next time someone ask a stupid question you won't
belittle them and say they are stupid. Maybe you can use a little tact and
try to get the person to reword their question. Or just don't bother with it
if it can't be answered. In many cases a simple "I can't answer that
question the way it is worded. Could you reword it please?" Or "I can not
answer that question because there is no answer." Or something to that
effect would have been better.
And John I was not trying to be arrogant. I don't know how that came
across. But I am far from being an arrogant person.
I pray that all your lives are going well.
Thank you

There! Suzanne is right, and you are unbelievably stupid. Arrogant too,
but stupid people usually are...
You see, you have not defined what a "Feature" is. How could anyone count
things when you haven't said what it is? Duh!
Still, if you want to go ahead and believe whoever gave you a number of
2,500 to a question for which there is not answer, you go right ahead
Someone once told me that the most important thing when you find yourself
arguing with an idiot is to ensure that he is not doing the same...
Its well over 2500. Thats an answer to my question. Someone else was able
to answer this were you and the others could not. Oh and if you notice my
question has two parts. The second part states "Has anyone ever gotten the
count of features that are on word?" This one in a way would have eliminated
my first question. Just by someone answering "We don't think so." or "Maybe
someone has but we don't know who or what the answer is." Well since
apparently none of you had, your answer should have been No. So no one needs
to reply anymore.
:
You're still not getting it. It's not that we don't know the answer or that
we know and just aren't telling you: you have asked a question to which
THERE IS NO ANSWER. I suspect that even if you asked the devs at Microsoft
who designed Word, you would not get an answer. As others have suggested, if
you can phrase the question in such a way that you are asking for something
that can actually be counted, then you might be closer to an answer.

JoAnn is a serious person. But you haven't asked a serious question.
It is
almost like asking how many colors there are. It depends on what you
mean
by color. I believe the classic scholarly question along these lines
is
"How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" You (or your
professor)
may want to spend your time debating such questions, but don't expect
everyone else to spend their time doing so.
If you asked how many menu commands are built into Word's edit
interface,
that question would have an answer. (And I would tell you to go ahead
and
count them as it is your homework, not ours.)

Keith and I were discussing this earlier this evening. He agrees with
me - it's a stupid question. Even if you say adding a bullet is a
feature. But then you can change the color of the bullet, the size,
the font, the space before, the space after, the paragraph format
before, the paragraph format after, etc.
Had I been asked that question in a class, I would have asked the
instructor to define the term "feature".
