Subject: RE: Tech: Word won't open
Once upon a time, Word used to be one of the most "powerful" and useful programs extant. It did take some study (learning curve) to know how to use the more advanced features.

Begining, so far as I've been able to tell, with Word 2007, Microsoft decided that only idiots would buy their stuff, and rearranged all the menus (790 unitelligible icons on my Word 2007 MAIN toolbar, none of which reach a useful object in fewer than 7 clicks) so that only idiots could use their stuff. They also either removed or concealed the controls for anything that might "confuse" the rabble by actually being useful.
