Has anyone been able to get a valid conforming #ODF document result out of The Document Foundation's ODF Validator with an ODT file created by a non-OpenOffice derived word processor? It seems the validator just never finds a valid result with an ODT document produced by WordPad (supposedly ODF 1.1, yet not versioned at all), MS Word 2019 (supposedly ODF 1.2) and SoftMaker's TextMaker 2024 (more probably ODF 1.2 or 1.3, but versioned 1.0).

New post: WordStar: the pre-Microsoft Word days

WordStar was the hand I was dealt when I started working with computers back in the 1980s. It was also probably the cheapest word processor on the market, knowing my boss

This was a great exercise for me. I've never done VBA in Word before. I'm probably going to automate a bunch more of the laborous actions I need to do in Word frequently.

In Word I do this a lot with images:

1. Set wrapping to top/bottom
2. Make image equal body width
3. Set image to follow text
4. Set image below text
5. Turn off allow overlap
6. Lock anchor

I finally decided to write some vba to do this:

It should work with any number of selected objects.

If you add this to the "Normal" template you can access it in any Word document. I also added it as a button in Word's toolbar. #vba #word #msWord #msOffice #scripting

Accidentally hit the CONTROL key and SPACEBAR together while typing in MS Word, and was startled when my computer blurted out the word I was typing.

I knew TTS was possible, but I really didn't expect it to happen from a typo.

Irony abounds, as the word I was typing happened to be "accessibility"...

@workgood I would be interested to know how well Wine / Bottles is with a recent Microsoft Word (and Microsoft Excel). Either version 365, 2024, or 2021.

Before anyone asks: I almost exclusively work in #LibreOffice, but also have to often exchange documents that have to *exactly* look like they look in the MS Word of the sender/receiver. That's why I have to use MS Word sometimes.
