Maybe I misunderstood what Vic said. My interpretation was that he
wanted
just words on the page. He said "a simple doc". If all you want to do
is
type some words, save the doc and maybe print it, those actions take
you
nowhere near the menus for graphic features. They're all on the File
menu. I
suppose a spastic mouse movement could cause you to hit toolbar
buttons, but
that's one of many reasons why professional typists don't use the mouse
for
the vast majority of work.

Nah, they were mostly "official" and a reflection on my
"professionalism" so they were fonted, centered, and paginated.
Anyway, most of the time I had problems with it was when a nerd
tricked it out with all kinds of tabulation, macros, and such.
Then I just refused to deal with it.
You know, you give some people a hammer, and they turn it into a
milling machine.

Learn a few of those and you'll be the robocop of word processing.

Then what, get a job as a secretary?


There *are* advantages. My monitor died one day while I was working on a
spreadsheet. I managed to finish the spreadsheet successfully and print it.
It was 80% done anyway, but still....keystroke shortcuts saved the day. And,
you have to be a masochist to use the mouse to save a doc instead of just
hitting CTRL-S.




Sure. Everyone who uses a WP frequently learns keystroke shortcuts.

BTW, have you seen Charlie Wilson's War?

His assistants and secretaries were not picked for their WP skills.
