So good.

I came to formatting in Word when my teacherwife needed help making lesson plans.

I come from a background of a decade of graphic design with QuarkXpress, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator using Macs, and my god, the frustration I had trying to get Word to do even basic, sensical formatting…

I finally had to walk away from it because despite all my experience at formatting and layout, she ended up being faster and spared me by just doing it herself.

@Lizerreal @reay Word has always assumed that no one ever makes changes to the order of things after the first draft.

Ironic given that its Track Changes is the industry standard for sharing line/word level changes.

@Lizerreal Never mind the windows, it’s the doors that fascinate me.

@Lizerreal I have a love hate relationship with word. Last week I learned that excel of all programs has a background remover. And it works pretty good too.

In pictures? Word can do that as well.

@Astrid_z really? where is it in word?

@ManicBookkeeper
Select the picture, choose Color in the ribbon. There's an option to select the color in the image that you want to change to transparant.

@Astrid_z ok I’m trying it!

@Astrid_z it’s the same! When did this happen. Amazing. I’ve never spotted that before. Thank you!

@Astrid_z it worked! I can’t believe I never thought to look. 😂

Word is capable of so much more than people think it is.
You can do almost everything you want with formatting in Word. Unfortunately, most people don't know how to use it.
Show thread453289Dec 5, 2022
@Astrid_z True. I go in use it and get out. I don't play around in word the way I do with excel and Adobe design software where I experiment and try new things. What does this button do. In word all I see is utility. I recently learned that outlook has a translate option. Never even noticed it because I use keyboard shortcuts and don't look in the menus there either LOL
