I used to do publishing and editing as part of my job, so I know a good word processor. Physical chemistry, electronics, manufacturing documentation, I enjoyed every minute, including the terminal and graphical interfaces throughout the decades.

This handiwork from #Microsoft is not it. Can't even center justify. Default toolbar, where did it go? Can't zoom page width. Does my employer have to pay extra for these basic editing features that have been with us long as I have been alive?

Now I have to wait until I go home and do this on my Linux laptop. This entire document should only take an hour and 20 pages for a quality rough draft.

I am writing training manuals for the techs here, because I accepted a new job offer. The better information they have will greatly improve profits after I leave here. And this proprietary software is astonishing steaming shit. Oh, and there's AI... Why do people still use this, because it is made in USA?
