Using Building Blocks to Jumpstart Your Documents In Word 2013
My personal relationship with Microsoft Word is long and tortured. Way back in 1986, I was taking temp jobs to help pay my way through Depaul University in Chicago. I was offered a long-term position at the global headquarters of Hyatt Hotels, working for the Vice President of MIS. The only catch was, he wanted someone who had experience in Microsoft Word. I had used Word on the Macintosh's in the computer lab at school, so the temp agency thought I would be a good candidate.
As it turns out, Word on the Macintosh and Word for DOS were two very different animals and I spent my entire first day thumbing through the manual trying to figure out how to operate a word processor that didn't have a graphic user interface or a mouse. I figured out pretty quickly that trying to do things the way I had previously was simply not going to work. I had to learn to accept the limitations of the software I was working with, while taking advantage of the things it did well.
