I hear you, brother. Three times this week at work I included needed information and people asked where it was. One was an email, I'd attached the specification to the message, I said the specification was attached in the message text, and I still had someone ask where it was and bitched because they couldn't find it. The other two were in our bug tracking system where I updated an issue, told people in the text that the correction was in build "X", and build "X" was already completed and available at the time. In both of those cases I had people ask which build the correction would be in, and when it would be available.

There is no acceptable excuse for this and the only explanation is laziness. I practically spoon-feed this stuff to them, because I know they won't get it otherwise, and they still it up.

Oh yes, this, this.
It drives me nuts when people utterly miss information that I ensured was clearly available to them. It happens in many scenarios.

Can someone explain why, within a web interface, Office365 allows collaborative edits on Word and Excel but not plain, simple text files?
(Well, you can have two people edit at the same time, but you overwrite each other's work)

Well, and I am guessing...
Excel seems simple. You give control of a cell (or range of cells) to a user, they can edit it, and not worry about conflicted a different cell that someone else is working on.
Word. I expect it's similar. The document likely tracks "ranges" (sections, paragraphs, pages, whatever...) individually, so again you can determine who is working on what part and ensure it doesn't conflict somebody else working on a different part.
A simple text file... well that's basically just one single field/cell/range. So you can't easily apply the same rules that you have done for Excel/Word.

I don't buy it. I've seen simpler things elsewhere, and if it needed to worry about breaking the content up into bite sized pieces then it can do it line by line.

Or you can just rename the .txt to .doc, load it up and Word does it all for you

After 40+ years of marriage I believe I can vouch for the veracity of the 50/50/80 rule, which states:
If you have a 50/50 chance of choosing the correct option, 80% of the time you'll get it wrong.

At first blush this seemed extreme but I realized the student would go nowhere without a strong foundation, so I guess they did the right thing.
Hope she doesn’t get a pore grade!
