Dear Microsoft Designers of Word
Dear Microsoft,
Please change a feature of Word backward several years ago -- when it had a nice feature: There used to be a thick border at the top so one could drag the top window readily. These past few years, since the advent of 2007 and 2010, i spend half my working time fumbling around trying to grab the edge of the window to drag the document where I want it to lay. Even though I work with two large monitors, this need is still quite prevalent. (Oh, when I work remote on one small monitor, my loss of time increases.)
Oh, whatever happened to the days of asking the user what they want?
the laments of an ex-programmer (who took all the classes on design...one huge phase being: Find out what the users really want.)
