Sometimes Word tries so hard to help that it becomes impossible to actually write anything.
I propose that pushing the windows key in Word would put it in "ol' fashoned typewriter" mode. No spell check, no formatting, no squiggly lines, just what ever is typed.
Optional ability to use a poor quality
correction like we used to have with the white ribbon. Mistakes aren't completely hidden, just blurred-out and overtyped.
Word processors are stupid and inefficient

So why would you want a hot key to turn them off? When the automatic functioning is turned off, each component can be called on demand, by hot keys. So just leave them off, like I do. |
|
| |
Nice, from a retrospective point of view. Maybe it could align one character (but it has to be the same one each time) just slightly above all the others. [+} |
|
| |
So, you want wordperfect 5? |
|
| |
Isn't there another program installed on all MS-Windows machines. Called something like Word Pad, or Note Pad (maybe it's Maxi Pad) that does exactly this? |
|
| |
Or just use vi or emacs like a real adult. |
|
| |
Bun. Rarely, rarely do I need to use MS-Word, but when I am forced to do so this would come in very handy. So much quicker than digging through "Options" that I'm unfamiliar with trying to figure out how to turn the damn stuff off. |
|
| |
Noexit: if you're not familiar with the product, how are you going to know about an option that lets you turn all the options off, however easy to use it is? |
|
| |
Use LaTex and you'll never go back. My
Physics I prof insisted on it and I've used it
ever since. It produces such better results
without all the headache of the f'n
paperclip telling you what it thinks you
want to do. |
|
| |
In Word, under Help, you can just Hide the Office Assistant pain in neck paper clip. |

If you open a blank document and type "damnit()" (no quotes), then it automatically turns off all autoformatting until you close the document. |

Oh, it doesn't work! You LIE!!! |

(The little red squiggly line is encouraging me to correct my spelling, too.) |

BUN BUN BUN(damnit)!!! I am computer literate enough to be able to disable the auto-correct functions and sometimes I even use MS-Wordpad because I just wanna type without having to go through a bunch of "helpful" stuff. But I still would like to have that as a hot-key function so even if I go to someone else's computer, I wouldn't have to change their settings. I would just hit the Windows key and then I can type. |
|
| |
To me, it's just a new hotkey function (flavor). [-] |
|
| |
This is not an invention. It is a feature suggestion for Microsoft. |
|
| |
So would that make this more of a WIBNI? |
