Agreed, the 2003 version of Office is superior compared to more recent releases.
It's a pity that nowadays working in Windows in general, feels like being stuck in the sewers and waiting for someone to flush, i.e. you never know when Microsoft's gonna hit you with another "improvement".

Has it never occurred to you to, you know, just give up computers? Take yourself off to the Himalayas or a desert somewhere there's no electricity? You obviously hate everything everybody in computing does and all this bile can't be good for you.

I already live in a forest, in an area where cows and sheep outnumber people: without computers, I'd have to trade for a padded cell.
I just can't get behind the moronic "if it's broke, we won't fix it, but if it works, we will!" path that MS has been going down, for the past decade.

The best version of Word, as I saw it, was Word 6, which was around in 1996. Simple, and functioned well.
And then Word 7 came ... and things started going down, I feel.

Oh no! Just this easter holiday I visited my parents and after I had setup their old record player we revelled in listening to their old records. One of them was a collection of Grand Old Opry best of featuring Merle. He will be remembered!
So sad!
Here's to you Merle Merle Haggard, I think I'll just stay here and drink.[^]

A classic. Would love to hear the Grand Ole Opry albums...when country was country not the crap they're playing now a-days.

I can relate to that sentiment! There was even something called Country here in Germany that could only be called utter crap at its best, benevolently speaking that is.

I*'ve never been a fan of country music, especially the whiney sort that he pioneered, but he was truly a great entertainer. If there is any logical reason for Bakersfield to exist, Merle's it. There's nothing else there worth seeing.

I've come up with a WPF wizard component that seems to work fairly well. It has several configurable features:
- An option navigation panel (a list box that lets you pick any wizard page in any order)
- Optional buttons (all buttons are optional, but they all default to being displayed)
- Optional display of header (I call it a banner)
- In the banner, optional display of subtitle and banner image (compiled as a resource in the application assembly itself)
- Ability to intermix linear and conditional (based on some condition on the current page) page navigation via the Prev/Next buttons
- Most of the mechanics of the code is black-boxed, but most of the methods and properties are virtual so the programmer can change anything he wants.
- The wizard itself is implemented as a user control in its own DLL assembly (and the base window and page classes live there, too)
- There's a SharedData object that is an ObservableCollection of what amounts to key/value pairs (acts like a Session variable container on a web site), and allows you to share objects between pages, the parent window, and the wizard control itself.
I know there are a bunch of other WPF wizard implementations, but I figure you can never have enough choices. Now comes the hard part - writing a supporting article...
