I miss Word Perfect.
I miss "make it fit" and "reveal codes"
They made my life so much easier. And we're talking a decade ago so its not like freakin Word couldn't have figured out these features by now.
Whoa. Good myth.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yow. Apparently I am so not awake that I can't spell my name correctly or get my address right.

Don't feel too bad. On Tuesday I felt completely un-gronked and had to look at my driver's license to verify what my address was. Who knew senior moments started in ones 40s.

When I was editing news releases, we used this program that would let you take a messy jumble with stupidified line breaks and "make paragraph". I miss that tool from that job ten years ago.

As long as my shiny new Cobra Starship CD makes it to me, I'm good with blaming it on a severe case of sleep deprivation.

You can reveal codes in Word, I think. Is that to show formatting symbols?
If so, Tools/Options/View tab/Non-printing characters -- you can check all or check the ones you want to see. You can also do this by hitting the paragraph button on the standard toolbar.
What does "make it fit" do?

I'm very startled to discover that the eldest member of Hanson is 26.

It seems like at least ONE Hanson should be 30 by now.
Damn.

Tools > Options > View.
For field codes, make sure the field codes box is checked.
