In a similar vein a colleague had the idea of marketing an application to install on your PC called iamnotafarkwit.exe. You'd run it after every software upgrade and it would disable all the "helpful" microsoft "improvemnts" like "I think you are typing a letter, so I've automatically moved everything round the screen" and so on. I'd have bought a cooy
I could comment that you seem to need the bit of it that helps with spelling the word "copy" and "improvements"
but I think I might get some back lash for comments like that
so I won;t
but I do recall when I was a teacher that I used to get the kids to do something in Microsoft Word and it involved inserting images
One of the things I had to tell them to do was change a few default
because - in the wisdom of Microsoft - when you inserted an image into a Word document then it made an executive decision about where to put anything even vaguely near the place where you put it
and move it to some where it though was more appropriate
The IT technician was aware to let me know about every update to Office of any kind so I could check just in case they had decided that they know best and to reset all Word setting to default
and/or move the method of resetting them to a more sensible set of options to another screen in a different place
Microshaft were not my favourite multi national powerful influential company at the time but other have taken their example and built on it since!
