    Microsoft is modernizing its Office icons as part of a broader focus on design for its various Office apps.

    Finally they're fixing my #1 problem with Office

      Unbelievable. Really unbelievable that they can be proud of, and waste so much time on, such garbage. The words "bunch", "pricks". "oF", and "useless" come to mind, but not in that order.

        Design is not the issue with the Office apps. Personally, I find Word to be unusable. I despise how it forces you into doing things its way because I can't stand its way. Every time I use it I am reminded why many people who deal with massive documents do not use Word. When my wife worked in a law office she told me Word was nowhere to be found there.

          The "League of Useless Pricks" takes offense. Scary part; there's another bunch doing the same thing to Visual Studio. They boasted about their new "lighter blue" design last week or the week before. It's almost as though Microsoft is being run by people who don't actually use their products.

            Out of curiosity, did your wife find any common sense there?

                    Touché I still have a WordPerfect keyboard stencil somewhere with all those lovely hot-key combos. Right next to the hardcover copy of the manual for AutoCad r10 or so.
