Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
Don't say Word, say text document
Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.

Great advice!

But are there no better word than "text document"? That is sort of already taken by plain text. A name for documents between text and DTP. Nothing else comes to my mind, though...

@Seetee hey I'm not preaching the law! Whatever works for you. Maybe written work, word processing, but they're all clumsy. Text covers a lot of writing not only .txt files. Difficult though isn't it, when these words are subsumed into product branding.
