A philosophical question...

Why is it that, the more I work with Office files, the more extreme are the pathologies I encounter?

Yesterday's source file caused Word to crash multiple times any time I tried to change the zoom level.

Today's PowerPoint file (each with its own embedded object from Word or Excel) stops responding to mouse clicks shortly after being opened, and has required about a dozen system reboots of Windows 7 so far today.

Cheers...

I can understand computer memory corruption resulting from the passage of a cosmic ray, but not from things like earthquakes, primarily because in the Grand Scheme of Things™, earthquakes are barely noticeable on a global scale (locally, it's a different story, natch).

I pin the blame for my recent computer ills on ill-nourished and poorly trained engineers.

Cheers...
