Fewer commands? You don't have to use commands that you don't need. And,
does your version of Word have the "Hide less-used commands on menus"
feature? If you don't use them, you don't see them, at least the more
obscure commands.

Look, I've fat-fingered Word while writing a simple doc and suddenly
had a database, tables, pie chart, and hyperlinks communicating with
the space shuttle. That's when I'd give it to somebody else to
straighten it out and e-mail it back to me so I could send it out.

That's a user problem, not a software problem. You should also avoid using
the mouse whenever possible. If you use only the menus, it's next to
impossible to screw things up unless you WANT to.



Why would you presume your experience with WORD to be the same as
someone else's who probably uses the program entirely differently, and
for different purposes? These big "office productivity" suites are
complex, and users interface with them differently.

He's taking a technical perspective.
Some writers still won't use anything but their 1927 Corona.
Some boaters won't buy anything but a Parker, or a GB.
Personal preference.
