word
One would think, after decades of operation, Word would have solved these simple issues.

When was the last time that MS was praised for making a good product?

Word, as a word document is pretty good. You can organize table of contents, bibliography all organized for you.

Lots of people really seem to like Visual Studio Code.

MS bought several good products (then killed them), does that count?

I really liked powershell when it first released back in 2007. Still quite like it today.

MS-DOS 6.22 seemed to be pretty ok, I guess?

No love for Microsoft here. Just musing over the question.
The XBox is still a popular console and has fans. A quick search tells me they are holding their share of the market. So maybe that?

It’s not like millions of people are going to suddenly sell their stuff that has a digital library that has been paid for.

Latex go brrr (overfull hbox)
otacon239@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I love the idea behind LaTeX, but one of the things I struggle with is that almost every other formatting language has a simple WYSIWYG editor available. I’ve searched quite a bit and they all seem to rely on a decent amount of pre-existing knowledge to get started.
Is there something I’m missing or do I just have to power through the syntax? I personally struggle without being able to experiment with a GUI and work my way backwards.

Not really WYSIWYG, but typst might be an easier start. They try to be the latex successor. I haven’t really used it though

It’s definitely a change in thinking. I fell in love with latex when I discovered it over 20 years ago. Finally the software would only do things I commanded it to. Word or any word clone makes me want to throw my computer out the window.

Maybe if you weren’t a tech illiterate fuck and used the “image formatting” system.

Most of the Word complaints I’ve seen on lemmy the past couple days are issues with solutions my education taught me. In the 3rd grade.

Is there an option like that? Or is it something to be available in the developer options or so?

Literally like the easiest thing to do.

From what I remember, it had gotten pretty doable by the time I stopped using Word, with 3 ways to fit with text.

Well maybe you shouldn’t be trying to do DTP in a word processor
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 day ago
Because Word is not a page layout program.
It’s a document program, so functions via the concepts of document management, not page layout.

I work at a print shop and o have had multiple customers ask if i can orint a brochure for them, and they then send me a word document. It makes me wish they just sent a dog shit canva file instead
