Microsoft sucks...really!

Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
Today's experience while writing a lab report:

I had the oddest experience with MS Word today...

Somehow MS Word switched my "launguage" to French mid way though the document I was writing, then started autocorrecting spelling to French or giving me spelling errors on perfectly valid words. I have no idea why this happened. I tried quite a few things (including finding language prefs and changing it back to English...only to to have MS Word change it again to French 2 words typed later. Finally I went into language controls and turned off "Auto detect language," at which point it again changed it to French. Finally I went back into language controls and told it the default language was English (instead of just selecting English for the document like I did the first time). Finally it worked correctly!

In conclusion: Microsoft sucks. :mad: :mad:

    You just realised MS sucks? Plus French, of all languages- sounds like a personal insult to me. :D (no offence to anyone intended).

    okay children, repeat after me!

    kah-a-ee... wa-o-err-d.

    KWord is Linux's version of word. Never had a problem with it, yet their is better alternatives to it.

    I'm on a recent Linux addiction (damn those games are fun!) since i started working with it at school. :shadow2:

    There are other Windows-based alternatives to MSWord, such as StarOffice.

    Switching your hardware and operating system because your word processor has an error is a bit ridiculous

    i've got Madrake Linux 8.2, and I like it pretty wel, too. Only thing I dont like about it is the lack of software (thougth i am currently working on getting the program to get Windows software to run on Linux) and also the only trouble I'm having with it is getting it to read my modem. I continually get the message that my modem wont respond o.O;
