Wenn in der Schule mehr #Textverarbeitung statt #MSWord und #Bildbearbeitung statt #AdobePhotoshop Kompetenzen vermittelt werden, ist das schon ein guter Anfang. #UnplugTrump #FediLZ

I swear that I will never again write a scientific paper in either #MSWord or #GoogleDocs. Ever.

I don't care that my collaborators in a medical school can't handle #TeXLaTeX or #Markdown. The costs of final typesetting and conversion are just Too Fucking High.

It's costing me more than a week of my life just to do menial shit that is fully automatic with my normal workflow. smh

I know that my normal tool chain lacks some collaboration tools, but I just don't care anymore.

I plan on retiring in a few years, and, I gotta say, one of the things I'm most looking forward to is uninstalling effing #MSWord, effing #Dropbox, and any number of increasingly enshittified pieces of software on my computer. Ugh.

Q: What are your chances of getting a response from #Microsoft if you post ideas on their Feedback portal?

A: Slim to none.

If you've got feedback on #Outlook or #MSWord, chances are fairly good.

#SharePoint, not so much. Or most other MS products.

Waiting for the first of 6k MS ToDo ideas to move to next status.

https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback

Microsoft Feedback portal top 10 product forums. Total number of ideas and the share of ideas that have moved beyond the "open" status.

Did you know that the history of Interlisp crossed with the history of modern word processors and MS Word?

@steveroyle Just add a note apologising to the reader and use a conversion tool. Don’t even open the file. Just send it to the publisher. Then use the time saved to take a walk. Life is too short to waste it on #MsWord.

@UnCoveredMyths

Remember, #Office365 has everything that you enter into it also go into their #AI called #CoPilot .This might not bother you, but if the subject of AI scraping your documents is important to you, then try to find an older offline copy of #MSWord . But then one problem would be to have a copy of Word on every device you use.

You can also use #LibreOffice (which I am told is very similar to Word) or #GoogleDocs (a Cloud program that probably shares your data to Google's AI), which is very similar to Word.

Just noticed my MS Office programs are still using #Calibri as the default #typeface . MS changed to
#Aptos as the default a year ago. Why are my apps still on the old fonts? I Dl'ed Aptos but can't find a way to change default in #MSWord . Suggestions?

@sven @kaffeeringe OK, bin nicht der erweiterte Familienkreis, aber bei mir hängt es an dem Veröffentlichungssystem des #BeckVerlag die eine Mischung aus eigenem Programm und Makros in #MSWord die regelmäßige Aktualisierung der Kommentierungen in der Fachdatenbank auf dem Desktop steuern. Das ist sozusagen das #SAP Problem der Beck-Autorenschaft....:)
