MS Office sucks...

I hate to be so blatant and cruel, but it's the little things that hurt. MS Office 2007 (like previous versions) is full of them. They spent 4 years between Office 2003 and Office 2007 and you STILL cannot print a label or envelope without going through 14 billion clicks. Even so, making one label versus a dozen or so labels is an entirely different process???

I am TRYING very hard to convince our sales department that Business Contact Manager is Good, Act is bad, and MS CRM is too expensive. The whole time it is blowing up in my face. The only real problem here is that even if I bailed and went with current version of Act!, it would STILL blow up in my face. I just figure Office is easier to control. Seriously, how can you develop a Business contact manager software package and NOT include the ability to write a contact a letter.... seriously... it's beyond stupid.

And if you are thinking of proclaiming "Go to Open Office, it is better and *Free*!" - about the only part about that statement I believe is the word "it". "It" is not free (time invested in setup, learning, etc..). "It" is not better - in fact it is downright a bad copy of an already bad product (Office). Finally, "It" is buggy as all hell. More so than Office is.
