Have you ever saved a word document in HTML?

All that extra code and to what purpose? It makes the page 1000 times bigger than it needs to be.

Dreamweaver actually has a facility to strip out some of the code leaving you to manually cut out the rest.

Wait a word processor where you have to use a mouse to do things? Get bent, typists don't use mice 'cos it ruins their WPM. :)

I don't what it is about Word, but I find it like a black hole for creativity. If I want to do anything other than a business letter, I use something else. Notepad or PICO. They're enough to get the message out of my head.

The next version of Word has 'the ribbon' which is context sensitive - which I guess means you won't be able to find what you want to do 90% of the time. But, for the mostof us, IT will roll it out anyway. Still, provided you can do bold/italics, spellcheck and load/save; most us will be happy.

@Jane: Sorry, totally misread your comment. If, in 'print layout view', you want to hide headers and footers; click the blank bit between two pages and select 'hide page separators (or something like that). Alternatively, switch to another view (I think 'normal' is the one you want).

Word = Sh*te (word!)

@Jane: If you want to see headers / footers, I think you need to switch your 'view' to 'print layout' (via the control at bottom / left). If you get a black line where they should be, click it and select 'show page separators (or something like that).

Word is a real pain in the arse.. I'm currently writing a whole load of documents with lots of screenshots and its a nightmare - nudge one an few mm and it will suddenly move up to the top of the page, or vanish entirely.. it's a real mess.

Why are footers and headers in view? poxy program.

oh my GOD yes - word is the most presumptuous program EVER. in the history of ever! it drives me up the wall.

i should not HAVE to know the little tricky ways to get rid of that line you just inserted for me, you f-ing program. you should just let me delete it!

*tears out hair*

sorry - this problem gets particularly bad for me around exam-time, when i have forty-page documents that i'm working with.

what programmer thought that one would ever, EVER want all the letters in an outline to be "A" and all the numbers to be "1"??
