A word regarding Word

[rolanni]

I would just like to say to the person in ITS who informed me that Microsoft Word is the Very Best Program for secretaries to lay posters out with, and, no, the college was not going to allow me to purchase a "lay Out pro GRAM" (pronunciation and emphasis original to the conversation) so I could do my job in a reasonable manner?

I'd just like to say to this person -- Word. Sucks. Very. Large. Rocks. And I hope your stock in MicroSmurf plummets.

Thank you.

If you have the whole Microsoft Office package, Powerpoint is an option. It's supposed to be for slide shows, but allows a fairly flexible outline. And prints to plotters so you can print large posters if needed.
