Let's wave goodbye to Microsoft Word

Word. What is it good for?

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Microsoft Word is the BAIN—the absolute BAIN—of my existence.

This evening I spent forever helping my dad input copy into an ancient Word template for his work newsletter. It's full of text boxes and grainy logos and bizarre fonts. Getting the sucker to align properly is a bloody nightmare. I mean, what part of text wrap don't you understand?! Not to mention the .doc / .docx compatibility issues. My GOD.

Sure, we've always known that Word isn't the right tool for newsletters. But even just for normal documents, it sucks. Why? Because you have to remember to hit command+S every three seconds. Because it will randomly crash and then ask you whether you want to send a report to Microsoft, which you refuse to do out of spite. Because, unlike Google Docs, you have to email documents to yourself if you ever plan to access them on another computer.


That's all for tonight. It's not often that I rant, but when I do, it's about things that matter. 

Enjoy your evening and remember to floss. 

Love,
Margaret
