Maybe the MacBU will fix it before Windows Word, wouldn't that be fun! :) I feel a Send Feedback coming on.

I sadly apt to say "When Donkey's Fly" to that comment. There is no way on earth that a new feature will make it in to a mac version first. IF its is a hit on the Darkside they might consider it. But; it unlikely.

Hi Daiya:

Yeah. I've been having and un-having the exact same random thought for a
little while now.

On the PC, it doesn't seem to cause any confusion because the PC installed
base are used to it, Word has always worked that way.

But you're right, it DOESN'T lead to an innate understanding of text
streams, flows, and stories. Or any understanding at all, really. It's
simply annoying :-)

Similarly, when sending as email the user has two choices: "Attachment" or
"Inline HTML". The choice is not obvious, and the difference is not
adequately explained.

I used to think that Dr. JoAnn Hackos was up there with Keynes. She
invented Minimalist Documentation for Microsoft. Now, I think death is too
good for her :-)

The "Theory" of minimalist documentation is really good: "Just enough, just
in time, exactly where you want it." But as soon as the business people got
hold of it and misunderstood it, it became "Quick, Cheap, or Absent."

I bet that's never happened anywhere else in history?

Cheers

I'm starting to think, to be honest, that the Word team needs to rethink
headers for the 21st century. So many people complain about the faded
headers, that maybe it should be recoded--the fade isn't helping anyone
understand the text streams in Word anyhow. The other thing people
complain about is that sending a word doc as email loses the
headers--well yeah, cause that's the way it works, but really, there
isn't much logic behind not including at least the first header in the
document as HTML text.

Anyhow, random thought.
