I would like to comment on an MsWord facility that I found very useful in an older version (about 10 years ago). This was a file search function where one could type in a phrase and a search of all MsWord files would be made for those containing the phrase. In a later version a few years on, the function had been modified and had become less useful and now in the latest versions I can’t find it at all! Who decides on what to remove and what new innovations to add? That is if it really isn’t available anyway although I’ve really searched since to try to find this function. This brings me to another point. If the developers are really running out of new things to introduce or change, can they at some point concentrate on revising the whole system which appears to have become unwieldy and user unfriendly in the process of adding on more and more? Sometimes it appears that functions are changed just to keep Microsoft employees busy and then we must figure out how to do things (that we used to do) all over again!
