[AccessD] OT: Word help

Don't blame Word itself, Darryl.  The 2007 implementation of Office was
evidently designed to reduce experienced, fully competent computer users
to a state of complete despair and utter confusion.  Things you need are
on non-intuitive context menus instead of on the ribbon.  The ribbon
isn't there when you need it because *IT'S* context-sensitive.  All the
essential basics are hiding behind something that doesn't even look like
a button.  And the whole thing makes my head ache.

My gut feel on this David, it sounds much more like 'bad UI design' than
'dumb user'.  Glad I am not alone in loathing MS Word. I only use it
when I am desperate...
