@*!%^@?

Has anyone who's had the dubious privilege of fighting with Word 2007 figured out how to turn off those hideous curly 'smart' quotation marks that fuck with html? Help is no use at all, and I can't find it anywhere under 'options'. I've managed to get rid of everything else annoying, but not that.

But the really annoying thing is their users knew exactly how to turn all that crap off in every version for the last ten years. To completely relabel all the menus and move things around to entirely different places that you can't find, that's what bugs.

At least when the supermarkets move their stock so I can't find anything, I know there's a cynical reason behind it - that if I have to look at the shelves more, I might buy something else. What reason does MS have to move the furniture?

Because they can! And it also has something to do with their 'superiority' complex... XD
