'Just Rewards (2)'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
One of my biggest problems with my immediate colleagues is that their knowledge of software is so basic that they can't even imagine what is possible, so they can't imagine why you would care if it was numbers vs. colors, or whatever.
Luckily, I now have backing in the assistants so we just go in and periodically clean up spreadsheets.
I will be so happy if I'm able to change groups soon.
I have mostly come to terms with the ribbon, and accept that it is probably a better interface for people coming to Office for the first time.
But I resent having to relearn a piece of software I've been using since college just because half the functions are now either moved or renamed.

In this case, it's just basic reading comprehension combined with the inability to give a fuck. I gave specific instructions on how to use the number codes, and I was ignored. Big surprise.

Word.
I would be so pissed at my coworker that I might have to give her a specific what-for.
Oh, wow. Sort by color? That's...useful, yet almost annoying.
Now I wonder - if you have a shitload of colors in your cells and you sort by color, will you end up with a rainbow (with the colors in correct ROYGBIV order)?
Dear lord, color coding kills me. One of my co-workers codes EVERY CELL of her status report by color, blue means done, green means with the author, yellow means with production, it's like Times Square. I cannot read it. I don't even bother; she'll tell me if she needs help, and that's all I really need to know. Damn thing gives me a headache.
I think you can order the colors any way you want.
Can you ask each cell in the spreadsheet how it feels, and then sort by mood?

For that you need the Mood Ring macro.
Jessica, how did you sort by color?
