Title: Fu*kin Microsof Word!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: PS2_-'_'-_PS2 on February 18, 2004, 11:40:29 AM: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!HHH!H!HH!H!H!HH!H!H!HH! bloody Word!!!! has there ever been a shitier program?!!?!?!?

Here i am compiling my 25,000 word computing report and all i am trying to do is seperate my report into different sections so i can add different headers and footers to each section but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it coudnt possibly be as easy to do as it is to describe NOOOOOOOO Word has to make everything bloody impossible to format and then if i ever get the bloody thing formatted no doubt when i save it and come back to it later some Global templete will have been changed and therefore reset all the formatting in my document!!!

Seriously my report is 177 pages and the biggest problem during the whole thing has been getting Word to do what i want it to!!!!!!!!

The problem with Word is that it has so much "functionality" as in loads of crap that nobody uses that when u try and do a simple thing it makes it harder.

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on February 18, 2004, 10:55:50 PM: My hand writing is really bad now. Used to be good, then i got my first pc.. That was the day my hand writing died..... And my touch typing developed. Now, people ask me if I’m a doctor or have a career in pcs, quite funny. I’ll probably end up doing a writing course or something.

Wow, that was hard.

Post by: PS2_-'_'-_PS2 on February 19, 2004, 10:44:13 AM: WooHoo i rock!!
I just figured out how to do it!!! I was using "Continuous" Sections instead of "Next Page" sections =]

Yes vid i could have done that but i wanted a nice fully compiled report in one document, many docs = messy and likely to forgot a section
