Powerpoint woes...
CategoryI am the youngest of five boys. As I meet my brothers from time to time, especially the older ones, I am constantly reminded that my relationship with my hair is not going to be a permanent one. In fact, I can see problems starting already, and eventually we will go our separate ways. I may have a fling with a wig or impress the ladies with a combover.... but the baldness train is coming quick, and my hair has a ticket.
Anyway, I digress.
The past two hours has definitely accelerated the balding process. Because I was pulling lumps of my hair out with Powerpoint. You see, I never liked WordPro; it was buggy and the UI didn't do it for me. I was always a WordPerfect fan (Reveal Codes... ahh......). MS Word was acceptable to me, although we have had our arguments aswell. But out of the SmartSuite range, I always loved Freelance. It worked, was simple to use and I knew it really well.
This evening I was trying to get some good animation into my Powerpoint presentation for Lotusphere. Just some text transition, that's all. Noting too fancy. Mother of God, it killed me trying to get it the way I wanted it. Then, I closed the presentation and when prompted to save, I clicked on "no". Subconsciously, I knew what I was doing.... but my finger seemed to just want to click on "no". So, everything lost (yeah... autosave... that would have been sensible) and back to square one for tomorrow. Shag it... going to bed.

Ah well, all done now - should get round to practising it I think. BTW, T & I are planning on coming to look at big rockets with you, if we didn't say earlier
