I haven’t used Windows nor Office for so long I have no idea what half of those icons are for. Word stopped being great around 2007 when the ribbon was introduced. Before then, it had an amazing UI, the right amount of features and allowed you to do your work. N? T? Turquoise P?
Now, wow. It blows my mind people put up with all that.
Lucky you, you don’t have to deal with the fucking T.
The web version is unbelievably shit.
I’ve watched a millennial uni student dick about with his laptop trying to find where tf his files are, not knowing the difference between the cloud and his local computer. University level.
I think all web software is unbelievably shit. The web is for porn, not software.

A fellow fan of office 2003! The ribbon was a terrible change and it has only gone downhill from there.
MS used to be at the forefront of UI, but now? You may be interested in: https://github.com/pi0/clippyjs
Oh man, that really brings back some memories.
I think that matching logos with some kind of rainbow puke that’s means nothing is one of the biggest sins of modern designers.
AWS does this and it’s so ugly. Does seem like they at least use the colors to group services conceptually, but still. Not like that jumps out at you, I had to go check one day.
Just these bright, garish icons that are unnecessarily loud, but without saying much, jacking up any presentation or diagram they’re used in. I think they offer a couple simpler variants maybe, but woof.
You can rearrange the letters to spell “AX PP NOW”
Is Microsoft pushing the woke agenda??? I’m making posters for the homeschooling convention
You left out [S]kype and [T]eams. That doesn’t count!
Tax PPs now??!?
Oh that’s perfect IMO! :)
Skype doesn’t count.
For good reason.
AX PP NOW, Taylor Swift!
Publisher is on the chopping block too.
These icons are all changing a little anyway.
how lovely. i’ve always hated corners
I blame people for publisher failing though. People complain left and right that images and different fonts don’t work in word … when literally it wasn’t built for that. Publisher is where people should go for flyers, booklets, etc. but people are stupid with computers and would rather hammer in a screw with intense force than take the screwdriver that is sitting right there.
Now we have an incredibly bloated word that tries to do all of that, while publisher is being killed off
Huh. I used publisher to make shitty websites on windows xp.
That feeling you get when the locks are changed.
Its gone and I never once used it.
At least we still have Skype (new), Skype for Enterprise, and Windows Skype
Don’t forget OneNote and Windows OneNote
