The Joys of Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is an acceptable application. I'm not crazy about it, but it works fairly well. I've used OpenOffice Write as well, and I'd say the two are pretty comparable, which should come as no surprise to anyone that's used both as Write is a blatant copy of Word in practically every aspect. But I digress.
I've been using Word for close to 20 years and just now I did something by accident and discovered a very useful feature. I've never been crazy about the "zoom" aspect of Word...how I'm always trying to guess whether I like the zoom better at 85% or 110%, etc. And the bold looks different and the fonts look different at different zoom levels, and changing the zoom level is tedious and confusing, to me anyway.
So, here the trick. Open a Word document, hold down the Control key, and roll your little mouse wheel back and forth. Is that sweet or what?
