Does Microsoft Word have YOU raging at the screen, just like me?
If you've used Microsoft Word, you've been there…
You're typing away, writing a letter (or whatever you use Word for). You click a button to add bullet points (or maybe indent a paragraph, use italics or…) and
suddenly it happens…
…Word decides to change a whole load of other things as well. Maybe it renumbers an earlier list. Or it adds bullets where you didn't want them. Or it shifts a paragraph to the right. Or left. The point is it does something you didn't ask it to do. Infuriating.
It doesn't mean you pressed the wrong key! Microsoft put features in that I call "Little Rascals". These rascals deliberately mess around with your work. But here's the maddening fact…
The maddening fact: Microsoft added the "Little Rascals"
on purpose… to be helpful!
They're supposed to take the effort out of formatting your work by working out what you want and doing it for you. But far too often, they get it wrong. Then they're just a pain in the you-know-what. Luckily there's a solution:
Microsoft's private little secret
You can turn these annoying little rascals off. 3 or 4 settings cause most
of the trouble. Once you know how, it's like flicking a switch: Click… and some of the pain stops. Click… and one more annoyance is gone forever. Click… and peace descends. You can relax.
But I'm getting ahead of myself - and maybe I'm being a bit unfair
After all, if you know how these features work, and what they're trying to do, sometimes they can be helpful. In fact just occasionally now, I use them… but only because I know that at the slightest trouble, it's Click… and they're gone.
