Language Breakdown

Busy season is tough enough without my daily tools going pear-shaped on me:

Emperor Word says, "Too many edits. That's all."

Really now? My grievance that elicited this opaque error: copying a smallish bitmap into a document. And what am I supposed to do after saving? Close the document and never edit it again?

In contrast, my other big Microsoft tool, Visual Studio, is amazingly robust and usable for hours and hours, and I really enjoy working with it. But, man, Word is not a pretty thing most of the time.
