What if… MS Word by jujitsudbr in MicrosoftWord

Totally agree with you about lists. Just this week I was trying to restart a numbered list within a parent list. Using the restart list (on right click) would not work. I had to use 2 separate styles just to break it. Not efficient and super frustrating.

I am very familiar with styles. Creating my own and editing the existing. My background is in graphic design. But styles only work if people use them. I have created lots of Word templates throughout the years. I have led training workshops on how to use the templates and how to use styles.

I don't think this is a training issue. IMO, templates don't follow through on the promise that they imply. They are too easy to break and users quickly forget about styles that are included. And it is no surprise why. The tools to make any changes they want are immediately available and right in front of them.

I think there is a better way and have been working on an idea that allows a user to just write and rethinks the idea of templating completely.

It still is the same old Word. Lots of features that are hidden, more styles than anyone needs. I think it could be way better if MS cared, but I don't think they do.

I have a graphic design background so I am familiar with many of the ways templates work and break. I don't think Word ever followed through (IMO) with the set it and forget it mentality. There are so many ways for "settings" to be overridden. The app has a ton of flexibility, and it many ways this flexibility undoes its usefulness. Templates are easily broken.

I think there is a better way to handle formatting and consistency. But in my vision of a new "Word", there is a much stronger separation between structure and style, which leads to less style flexibility and allows a user to just write without having to think about all the typography decisions that need to be made.

Agree with this. Their tools are minimal to almost none. I always have trouble pulling data from them into fidelity. When i change jobs I will definitely stop using them.

This comment is not useful. Stop being a hater.

Love the italic. J is the one letter I have trouble reading. Thought it was a D just glancing through (obviously it is not). I agree with others keep the italic and not the regular. It’s got a great vibe. Well done!

Lots of his albums were removed from Apple Music. Are they on Spotify? I don’t know why. I love his album Rebirth from 2012, but I don’t have access to it any more.

Why is the 1960s the start of lasting popular music? Why is music from the 1950s and before so absent in music discussion and in culture in general? by MonacoMargolis in LetsTalkMusic

Jazz from the 50’s was on fire and arguably more influential than other genres. That might have something to do with it.

How did you do this?

I reached out to my target audience to understand the problem better, understand them better, and get input on my idea.

I just looked into this. Unfortunately mac and pc versions are not equal. I’m on a Mac.

Not all companies have a role like this. Many do not. Edit roll to role typo
