Why does Microsoft insist on being hateful? =20 "What new festing pile of dung do you bring for us?" you ask. Well, let me rant. With Word 2003, the table of contents creation has been moved from its comfortable spot to a new spot that was hidden to me. Hate. Don't fucking move features that users depend on! Isn't that GUI 101? To resolve this momentary hatred, I used the help in Word to find the hidden option I was looking for. The help contained some items near the top of my search that were completely unhelpful, but just a short ways down was an item titled, "Table of Contents I: Create a basic TOC". That looked helpful, so I clicked. Suddenly, Firefox is fired up, and I'm transported to the Microsoft Office 2003 Online Training site. Assholes! The fuckers say all you need is Office 2003 installed, but, strangely enough, none of the icons that look like links work with Firefox. I click through a few links, but they all want to fire up Windows Media Player 7 which (a) I don't want to fucking install, and (b) is blocked by the proxy at work. All this doesn't matter anyways since I don't have a sound card! What if the network is down, or I'm offline compeltely! HATE! Help should not be dependent on network access, but these assholes have fucked that up as well. Yours hatefully, Steve Peters steve.peters@xxxxx.xxx
