1. When I use track changes and right-click on a change to reject it, all it does is tell me I spelled something wrong. Thanks, Word, I knew that.
2. When I write a poem it capitalizes every fucking line. I am not Wordsworth. I like to capitalize by the sentence rather than the line.
3. One whole tab of Word is devoted to mail merges, which I never use, and it takes me 25 minutes to find out how to customize keyboard shortcuts, which I use all the time.

5. What do you hate more than Word?

I’m a fan of heavily customizing my Word layout. Here’s what my Word 2011 layout currently looks like. Note how many of the stupid default buttons I removed from the toolbar.

How did you do that? (Note that I’m running Word 2007 on a borrowed laptop and normally I run something…er…older than that.)
On a Mac, you can right-click in the main toolbar of Word and select “Customize toolbar” or somesuch. Not sure if that’s true for Windoze 😦
Independentclause: In word 2007 on windows, you can right click on the narrow strip that’s left where the tabs end, and choose “minimize ribbon.” Does that make you any happier?
grie, I imagine it will take more than that to make me happy.
