Manifestations of Word

MS Word 2003 is a departure from sanity.

Must irritating must be the uncontrolled style growth. How do you manage several styles that are all slight variations of what you intended to use and would use if only the style wouldn't keep changing on you. Given that I could adequately use the style settings in 97 this ''feature'' in '03 has to be step backwards.

Today's annoyance arose out of simply trying to have table headers cross pages... highlight the row, select the option in the Table menu and ... nothing. Even after figuring that common sense was an inadequate approach and hitting Google to see what was there resulted in no better results.

Turns out that having a page width table set to have text wrap around the sides, prevents the table header from being carried across the pages.

LaTeX is my text editor of choice.
