  1. New post: WordStar: the pre-Microsoft Word days

    WordStar was the hand I was dealt when I started working with computers back in the 1980s. It was also probably the cheapest word processor on the market, knowing my boss

  4. This was a great exercise for me. I've never done VBA in Word before. I'm probably going to automate a bunch more of the laborous actions I need to do in Word frequently.

  5. In Word I do this a lot with images:

    1. Set wrapping to top/bottom
    2. Make image equal body width
    3. Set image to follow text
    4. Set image below text
    5. Turn off allow overlap
    6. Lock anchor

    I finally decided to write some vba to do this:

    pastebin.com/a2gGS6VS

    It should work with any number of selected objects.

    If you add this to the "Normal" template you can access it in any Word document. I also added it as a button in Word's toolbar. #vba #word #msWord #msOffice #scripting

  6. New post: European and open source office suites

    If you, or the company you work for, are among the enlightened ones moving away from MS Office, here are some alternative apps to try

  7. Wer bei #Word das Formatvorlagen-Trennzeichen (auch "Style-Separator" oder "unsichtbarer Absatzwechsel" genannt) verwendet, flucht vermutlich seit ein paar Tagen, insbesondere, wenn das zusammen mit Nummerierungen passiert. Die sind dann nämlich plötzlich verschwunden.
    Der Fehler ist Microsoft seit Ende Januar bekannt, bislang gab es aber noch keinen Bugfix.
    Durch Zufall bin ich eben über einen Workaround gestolpert: Schaltet man in Word den Überarbeitungsmodus ein, erscheint die Nummerierung wieder. PDF-Export und Drucken funktioniert dann ebenfalls wieder fehlerfrei.

  9. An article about how "immortal" MS Word is and other MSFT praise turned up in my feed, so I found the need to reprise (and liberate) my 2013 rant "Compatibility Is Hard: CHARTEST.DOC Is From 1989, Was Not Readable By 2003" nxdomain.no/~peter/compatibili #msword #winword #compatibility #documentformats #informationprotection which links to other (probably better) pieces by myself and @cstross

  10. Finally... I've been waiting this for years!
