I have no problem with > people using word for an editor ... Word is usually called a "word processor", because it liters the files with metadata and format codes. (But, I suppose you could set it to output plain text files, in what case I can't see how it should not be considered an editor, in part. A lousy one, but still.) > ... because using other editors does not affect me. Right up > until I am overwhelmed by users of other editors who cause > changes to my editor which does affect me. Sigh. I *do* have a problem that people use Word and the like. The end result is never good. They don't enjoy writing it, and they don't care to make it look good. (I guess this is OK, because I don't have to write, or read it.) But, all this misery makes for unhappy, frustrated people. They don't want to do fun things with me, because all their energies are consumed being frustrated and angry (or apathetic) at work: with Word, Outlook, and Access.
