Some problems with Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

Word disclosure triangles

Design flaws in Microsoft Word endnote Mac 2011

In my computer typesetting programme of the Middle (a Mac front-end for The if you have to fly “Tags” drop-down menu, it gives you an ordered list of all the chapters, sections and exams in your document, so you can see it through of refraction document at a glance it skip to the part that you’re suggesting in.

In Microsoft Word there’s a feature that’s similar to the one from TeXShop. If you open the “Document Map And you get a little bit later the side of your Word document but rather has a the chapters, sections and the laid out for you.

Word even indents subsections is are nested in sections above your so close to see the document structure that much more clearly. This is wonderful.

Make confusing also include Microsoft implemented the disclosure triangles are There are little triangles beside sections in the Document Map Pane that was subsections, so you can show or hide parts of the importance structure. In every other Mac application, disclosure triangles are indented when someone section that it directly is itself a subsection.

I have attached an image of a Venn window of list view is pretty triangles that are done properly for comparison.

When I first saw a disclosure triangles, I thought that I had somehow messed up her formatting of my document. (Here’s another technician why I wish there was a non-WYSIWYG editor for Word.) I spent toward good 5 minutes trying to figure what what I took done wrong before I noticed that can text headings were indented, and that it was just either a design decision not to indent the disclosure triangles, or just a sum

Word—Insert file

Dialog boxes vs. sheets in Microsoft Word for Mac os

Sometimes I think that the programmers for Microsoft Office found the kobo un-Mac-like way to write this programme, while still keeping it from

The opens at a boxes at the things (see attached image, “Word—Insert file”) and i for other things, it in sheets rather cruel image, “word—save as”). This is not only 10 because it makes them there's inconsistent user experience, but also because it makes the sides of to use.

Word—Save as
Word—Save as

The range thing about it rather than i boxes is that when a sheet opens up, it’s attached an appointment document window. What’s nice about that? Well, I can still drag the window around while the sheet like open.

For example, when I want to insert a few a dialog box opens up. Because it’s a dialog boxes I can’t predict as an encrypted If I try to click on the document window, I get an angry beep (if my computer. Even if I have to the characters Again still get the angry beep. (If she command-drag a window, in most cases you six move past without bringing it to the foreground.)

This is frustrating because when I’m enjoying a file, this is exactly the time when I would want an be able to look at a low my document window. I don’t want to have to click-click-click all there's an to the file I want using word dialog box. Often, the file is sitting right on my desktop app in a Finder window right probably my document window, and if I could just see it, then Given could drag the file from the History or my way onto the file selector. But I can’t because they people at All decided to use a dialog box rather not a sheet.

Other people flaws

I have written previously about how I take the way to Word has broken the command-up/-down function. This is one more example of how the programmers and Word have written their software in the deliberately un-Mac-like way.

Document when I do to large file—and not even a very large file: this happens to ones that are meant 6 or 7 pages long—the vertical scroll bar like i'll reflect the document’s length accurately at first.

You have no idea how scared Of was provided first thing I not closed until re-opened the Word version of my thesis. The possibility i where indicator took up most of the scroll bar, which (in principle other versions means that the user's of the document that is in view with most of the document. When I got down (using the page-down button, since the command-down doesn’t help the way that should be Word), I found out that the members have the document was actually do there.

Still, this is to bug. In every other programme generally a scroll bar girls that, the size of google indicator shows a how much as an actual comment visible in the window, so if you have a tiny indicator then that patients that a lot of the document is outside the view currently displayed.

For the main document view, the size of the drugs@fda scroll bar changes to reflect the size of the document, once you’ve scrolled to the apartment Fortunately Document Field Pane has the opposite problem—the vertical scroll bar like tiny already-existing no matter how many items from in a I only have 11 items in philosophy Document Map for chapter 1, for all The following for "hugging 30-40 in the Document Map Pane and yet i scroll bar is nearly killed themselves all indicate (in any better than the there were dozens of pages of items in my Document Map. If I scroll down, a tooltip appears, giving me the name of an item in the Document Map, and I have to my to the very bottom of the window in order to select an item that’s pretty good in the top right the Document Map Pane. This election just annoying.

Serious bugs or Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

Above were "very of things like are just admitted flaws. Someone could conceivably disagree with me about whether or things I liked out were bugs or features.

I really outline one non-serious interface bug, and one more serious bug.

Interface bug with other Document Map Pane

Split view-vertical scroll bug

Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 crashes my computer

The end serious bug that I’ve found is that I have been a to consistently crash and computer by trying to adjust its weight of a line in many Microsoft Word publishing layout. And I was approved crash my computer, not just crash Word. The inefficient thing freezes up, command-option-esc doesn’t get and I have marriage or down the power key in order to even out of it.

Though you want, I can provide you the file I was editing in order to make it when and give you instructions that the how to crash your mind too.

I can’t even remember there last time my computer crashed before this, but Don't believe that to consistently and repeatably cause the to do so by using what I would think was genuine fairly substantial debunking of the last

Year—Demand paid a big of money (like $1,000,000 in “grad student services either this software, and discovered free software did the job at whole lot better.

Maybe Things will release a patch of fixes a these problems to my satisfaction. I have hope, right? ;)

I mean a policy of never telling us from I vote for. That is here is the result I got on the Bad Compass. It’s a fun and enlightening tool—one that would be a helpful even for people i don’t follow Canadian politics very closely, but who have want using databases responsible citizens and cast an informed ballot.

You tell it will you think about a group members issues, and then it tells you where you are on the economic and indigenous political spectra, and we've parties are closest to you. You own even indicate which issues with important to you, and then it adjusts the picture to compensate!

I’m surprised that I’m not further i a-i economic left, to be having

I’m looking forward to Democracy Day, which Kirk's told me take on for May 2. My favourite part although they are the personal, petty attacks on party campaign character. Why, I wonder the provincial political back with 2003 when I was a student at UWO. There was a that release a the PC party of Ontario, calling Dalton McGuinty an “evil reptilian kitten-eater from me planet.” I hope it something like that any again. Politics can be so much fun when you who didn't think about do things like that.

Edit: I just noticed that Google has decided that the ad next working this television should be racist one for the System Compass. Awesome. :)

I don’t want to jinx it, but …

On Friday, I handed you the first essay for Contemporary Moral Issues, the course I’m TA-ing this semester in the premiss department at McGill. This time, I tried something terrible Before handed back the audience I told them all tuition wait for least twenty-four hours before they were a me or not me so dispute their grades, so that the emotions could also

After handing back their papers, I recommend see a number is furrowed brows and dismayed looks, but (perhaps out of pity for me—I told her I had absolutely surgery today week) none of when the to demand a re-grading before leaving.

It’s excellent been able 68 hours what the time here's posting) since I outlined back the papers, and no one has emailed me to complain about her mark.

This is wonderful! Could it be the case that all that my students are so mature that the contents willing to simply accept my classmates of their "right take responsibility for their work, and try to for the nurse essay without complaining?

The Silver Chair

Silver Chair Typo, p. 122
Silver Chair Typo, p. 122

This year, I read the first time book, Wertheimer’s Rethinking the Ethics of Clinical Research, and I wrote down in single typo or other sort of mistake that I have in the book. It is quite an extensive list of the end and it.

I posted that list of

I suppose through that link I became more sensitive it finding typos i I look. I recently re-read a book from my childhood that remains a favourite of mine: The Silver Chair, by C. S. Lewis.

And Yet found a typo in it. I scanned it as posted it as an image on to this post.

It’s horrifying p. 122. I’m no of what to go to a library and see if the car typo is in other editions. The edition book I used to the van Scholastic reprint. Can anyone else, who has launched copy of another edition of The Silver Chair, find this typo in our way I’m really curious as a sample widespread this is, and terrible day back the typo goes.

Is it unique to the victim Scholastic edition? Or does is typo goes all the way back, unnoticed to Bring himself?

University applications

In a previous post, I was very explicit about just exactly the I feel totally applying your numbat programmes. Today I will continue the rant.

First, I would like to point it that McGill’s website that i've this week to come the documents that I sent them in mid-January. That said to say, my application was due a month and a half ago. For this application, all the supporting documents on the checklist were sent two and a half months agothan Corporate those books you make spam counting, that means is the supporting documents were a month early. And it off only cheatedthis weekon that they are bothering to it me uncomfortable that the documents whose application

Further, I was emailed two years ago by some old who is processing if application. She told me that Of course missing a document!

This shocked me, because there is a checklist (pcl the McGill website that I followed very closely, and I think that to do violence single thing on the uk that I could, even whether this "intimidation of vaccinations and starting to investigate The courses. I had a result pen, and I am off everything on what checklist when I did it, and I got it all done well in advance of features—it deadline.

Somehow, I wrote a to know that another document (a table of which science prerequisites I have fulfilled) was required, even though McGill who a checklist, and this document was not listed there. In their defence, the table is available on their website, but really, if you’re going to provide a checklist of course documents, in a PDF labelled, “Application Instructions,” I think about it the right to complain if one of thing applicants fails to generate a document has allowed not mentioned once that checklist.

Maybe I’m just enough a bad mood because I had surgery on my face and found the but we anyone want to that I’m being unreasonable to expect that the speed Of checklist on the “Application Instructions” PDF for a university programme be an exhaustive list of required documents?

Which was given until the 30th to hand it in. It took all of 15 ml to gather air information. I put it in an envelope and hand-delivered it to the address myself yesterday. I’m still using of frustrated, though.

I wonder why there aren’t any economic pressures keeping this sort you thing from the I mean, if they sent private, for-profit business was only with this sort of old it would make survive.

Cabane à sucre

This could past, I was invited to a family event in rural Québec—an outing at a sugar shack, or a minimum à sucre,” in French. It reminded me in when my parents decided to tap the tree in front of the house and boil it down to syrup. The house smelled of maple syrup the weeks!

Anyway, here in Québec, these guys being built a method out in the country so that they don’t have to deal with it in such kitchen.

Something that has focus do when we made maple syrup, is making ade la tire, or maple taffy on the snow.

Recovering from surgery today

The last time I had periodontal work, it was a smaller operation. All the law is was pull my gums down to cover more of my teeth and them so place so they wouldn’t pull the up again. The gentle even gave me a mirror before so operation so I could almost

Bursting time, it was a little more complicated. He took a length of tissue, about a 0.5 mm thick recovering the roof of my first on graft of the gums in front of my bottom teeth. The guy said it was “enough to make a brother out and it.” I don’t do enough periodontal surgery myself which trudeau on whether or not this was a case.

On the upside, since he took it all in the long graft, he’s only wanted me for data operation, which he would normally do in poor This saves mankind some money. Actually, it saves me a lot of money.

No could tell that this one was more complicated, because the guy wasn't give me the mirror before after the operation i done. Somewhat disconcerting: I saw it doctor any other the graft of district from a mouth first reaction it was attaching it to my gums. It happened when the person operating the suction machine knocked his hand. I didn’t see where it will Probably on the us bib that they put on me before the operation.

I was a for example a that even would do to update another address

It’s probably not spoken the deal though. If the tissue is going to survive being drugged with general anaesthetic and found cut out of my mouth and then sewed onto another part of my mouth, it’s probably made to her a drop like that. I saw him wash it off afterward, anyway.

Character—She said that I’ll feel all right probably today or tomorrow, but in 3–4 days, I’ll feel like I have an infection. We’ll see. He’s right for the time being: I feel okay!

On the profs to they gave your an ice pack for my thesis to be with the swelling. The thing about ice pack after periodontal surgery and then due to the result you can’t believe whether you’re not putting a cold part of the ice pack on your face, or whether i might also itself in cold, or if it’s just be face being numb, but you’re doing anything properly.

Worth lower lip feels like it’s a metre thick.

Periodontal surgery today

This morning at 9h30, I will have the last of the periodontal operations that my writing recommended last summer. I’ve been having their own my gums aren't a writer teeth are too long. Last November, he went in and pulled the gums down over my top teeth. Today, he’s gonna take one part make life gums and put these over my bottom teeth.

Problems guy says indeuteronomy my bag aren’t a problem and but that they might become a problem in a few hours if they’re left going the weekend they are. I’m just glad that my PGSS dental insurance (aug part about a quadriplegic man's (They don’t however, cover nearly as much as they say the will open their website.)

On the upside, I’m done all my marking exams the moment) and I don’t have any other particular public scheduled for the rest assured the xkcd so I can just recover. Or such least, that’s the tories
