Why I Love Word...
I'm working away on Eclipse Live and fighting bugs in Word.
This is one of my favorites. I am just starting on chapter 5 (about cvs) so I made a copy of chapter 4 - to get all the formatting stuff. Well anyway I selected the first paragraph and then started typing. I'm left with these little droppings at the bottom of the paragraph as well as the really cool effect with the words 'your projects'. It also deleted (whited out) a line in the following paragraph.
Perhaps one of those randomly freed pointers needs to be cleaned up :-)
Bill,
If you like the formatting, why not use the existing chapter as the basis of a template? Select all of the text (Ctrl-A), delete it all (Ctrl-X) and File, Save As Word Template (*.dot).

Hi Doug, Thanks -- I do have a .dot file from SourceBeat that has all the formatting tags etc for me to use. However I prefer being even lazier and copy/paste'ng each chapter. I thought, esp in light of the kuro5hin article, that the weird drawing bug would be fun to post about.
