Ah, I thought so: everyone of you uses it!
Well, me too. And although I'm pretty skilled in using Word, the program still gives my head aches now and then.
You guessed right: I've a headache at the moment. I'll tell you why.
I was working on the Midterm Report for Media Use in Organisations. I was almost done: the content of the report was complete. The only thing left was the lay-out. And I'm not satisfied with a lay-out based on accidental Word-tools. I want Word to recognize the structure in my paper. So I work with nummering/headings.
But oh my god, what an effort it takes to get the fancy lay-out I want.
For example: I had already written my text, and now I wanted to place sections under headings: 1., 1.1, 1.1.1, etc.
This, Word cannot handle. It is impossible to do this without getting really frustrated and losing a lot of time. Every time you try to place a section under a heading you sort of have to set Word at ease and reassure the program that you're not doing anything stupid.
Another example:
I had written out my interview questions. I did this structured with lines and dots.
Now I dare you: try to move the questions a little, using the 'ruler' function. Move the questions from:
A
To
B
At once, without getting frustrated.
I did not succeed.
Please tell me if you have troubles with programs like word too! Or if you've got some tips, let me know!
Wat is dit nou weer =O Ik dacht. Eitje. Dus proberen he.
ReplyDeleteAnd damn you're right.
Ow, nog zoiets: ben je aan het typen, verspringt de cursor opeens (zonder jouw medeweten) zodat je zinnen krijgt als:
Media use in informaess feature. tion has indeed been a very important busin
Niet echt dat je zegt universiteitswaardig.
Word is je nieuwe profeet, maakt van ieder een analfabeet. Zullen we maar zeggen.
