The 8 Things I Would Like to (and maybe can) Change About Word
My list of the 8 things that must be changed to make Microsoft Word really productive for knowledge workers.
-
Automated insertion of front matter.
-
Paste unformatted.
-
Automated settings for headings and footers.
-
Fast, reliable insertion of images and tables with captions.
-
Conditional text.
-
Style repair (e.g. when MyStyle becomes “MyStyle,2 point above,bold”).
-
Pre-flight check (for revision marks, broken cross-references, etc.)
-
Numbered lists.
The good news is that Author Max™ (an add-in for Word) does a pretty good job of handling issues 1-7. (We have a solution for issue 8 too, just not yet built-into Author Max.) What issues are most important to you?
