Try this: In Windows, Hit Alt-PrtSc, which copies your application window. Go
into Microsoft Outlook, start a new email message in rich text format, and
right-click and select paste. You'll see the picture of your desktop that you
copied. But wait, it's too big and you want to crop it. So you open up
Microsoft Office Picture Manager, the Microsoft replacement for the old Photo
Editor, except that Picture Manager is better, because now it takes twice as
many keystrokes and mouse clicks to crop a picture. You crop your picture in
Picture Manager, then right-click on your cropped photo and select copy. You
go to your Outlook message, right click, and...paste is not an option. Yet
another prime example of Microsoft software's incompatibility with Microsoft
Software. This was never a problem with Photo Editor. So now with Picture
Manager, you actually have to export the picture to your desktop, then try to
copy and paste it into your email. But wait, now Outlook wants to attach the
picture instead of placing it inline within your text message. You just take
out your gun and shoot the computer and walk away feeling much better...
By the way, another infamous example of Microsoft software's incompatibility
with other Microsoft Software is Powerpoint's long-standing inability to
embed .wma files. It can embed .wav files, just not WINDOWS MEDIA AUDIO
files. What are these guys thinking? Something like "let's see how little we
can make our product do, and still get people to pay hundreds of dollars for
it!" I think Bill Gates should decide to invest his charitable contributions
into something useful, like reducing worldwide stress by making Microsoft
software actually work!
