Stupid word

July 25, 2003

Someone asked me to help design a few Microsoft word templates. It has been a complete nightmare, I consider myself a pretty savvy software user but the task has proven to be overwhelming. Microsoft pretty much forces you to forget everything you know about page layout and start from scratch. I would say that trying to do a precise layout in Word can be compared to laying out a page with HTML without knowing the markup.

I made it to Lalaland today.
