I honestly think it's mostly a problem with the idea that the Office apps are extremely bloated, kitchen sink apps. No one should be looking at Word or Libre Writer and thinking "I'm going to build a contracting system for my clients out of that" or "I bet I could make an inventory system in there" and yet...
Yep.
People try to use Word as a desktop publishing app then complain how it shifts images around. Thats because it's for documents, which flow page to page.
Use Publisher for DTP, or a real, industry app. Same problem of using Excel for a database purpose.
Yeah this is a better example. Thanks!
