Of course your know the following is just my opinion... right.
Office 2007 is like heroine.
You get hooked
It becomes a Habit
Then it crashes
Yeah, I've been burned. I was a Office 2007 user. Now I'm in a program... It's a 12 step program... the first step is
RECREATING ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS THAT FOR SOME APPARENT REASON ARE NOW CORRUPT AND UNOPENABLE
Oh Yeah, I'm upset
I worked a sold 10 hours on the presentation material... and viola' gone.
THEN.... THEN..... The glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel is a taunting new Office 2007 feature called "open and repair". I have a moment where the cloud is lifted and the sun is shipping and the angelic cherubs are singing in acapella.... The Open and Repair function is easy to find... it's easy to use....
IT DOENSN'T FREAKING WORK!
screwed. I'm so screwed.
And so... I have to wonder... why would Microsoft have an "open and repair" feature so conveniently located by the "open" button in the open dialog box... why? BECAUSE THEY F'ING KNEW THEIR SOFTWARE WAS SCREWY!
And so in closing... I'm working through my anger. I'm working through recreating my files... and I have since changed my default file type to Office 97-2003, so I won't have any of those .docx problems anymore. I don't give a crap about losing the functionality... I'll just embed the f'ing fonts... and be done with the madness.
