I have been sitting in one of the computer labs in my uni for the past 2 hours, trying to do a lab report on MS word/Excel. Despite the distractions (i.e Ironworks), I have now reached a point where I can no longer use the computer without cursing at it. I've almost put the monitor through the window twice, and I am really really really beginning to despise the smug paperclip that pops up everytime I want to do something slightly out of the ordinary. I've just managed to save over another report without it telling me, and I am sure the equation editor, spell checker and draw tools are in league against me. I think the symbol insert function has had a disagreement with the grammer checker, and all the table editing tools seem to be on strike. ARGGHH......What else could go wrong?
I haven't even finished the introduction yet, I just want to cry. *DEEP BREATH* - that's better Sorry just had to vent my anger for a bit. PS - Memnoch could you please read my thread in the BG1 forum - I hope you can help. |

Right click on the evil paperclip and go down to hide. Imagine him being sent to an evil abyss of endless torment. I hate that smug little bastard!

The good news is that dumb-ass paperclip will be no more when Microsoft rolls out the new version of Office...
