Back in my college days, I loved Microsoft Word.
I used it for virtually everything I needed reduced to type. Letters, term papers, essays and even articles for the school newspaper were a dream to type on Word. Recently I allowed my office to switch over from Wordperfect to Word 2013, because my new office management software would not integrate with Wordperfect.
How bad could it be, I thought.
What a complete disaster. It's not bad enough that I have to hear my employees complain daily about how bad this program is. I have to deal with it myself.
What a piece of sh-t. The autoformating garbage will make you want to scream the very first day you use it. Then as you learn to deal with it, you find that the program is defective, in that it will not let you change the settings it purports to enable you to change.
For example, on Friday my office manager came in to my office, frustrated that she tried to change the layout of a document from portrait to landscape. She went to the settings and changed "portrait" to "landscape," but word simply kept printing it out the same way, ignoring the change.
Today, I tried to revise a document, including removing the page numbers at the bottom. I went to the settings and checked-off remove page numbers. Word ignored it, and will not permit me to remove the page numbers. I can't believe that I just paid for word processing software for multiple computers in my office, and it will not let us choose whether or not to have page numbers in our documents. They must be kidding with this sh-t.
I can't believe how they have turned what used to be a great program into a complete piece of garbage.
It is so bad, that I am actually considering finding NEW office management software, just so I can get rid of Word.
If anyone is considering changing over from Wordperfect to Word, DON'T. You will regret it!
Oh, yeah, and don't even get me started on Window's 8 a/k/a the dumbest OS ever shoved down the throats of computer users. I'm glad I bought a single laptop computer with Windows 8 to try it out before making a decision of whether or not to load it onto all of my office computers. Thank god. Returned the laptop because of that piece of cr-p windows 8. The only thing I can conclude is that whoever is now running things at Microsoft must be perpetually high on crack, or is taking bribes from Apple to cause Microsoft to pump out software that is so bad that people will switch over to Macs out of sheer frustration.
