Word has destroyed lots of work for my ex-colleagues.
Also it was such a major pain when I had work with two other students on my final project that I ended up doing the last major changes in Open Office writer before reopening in Word to finish off the last details. Admittedly I guess this had a lot to do with how some people don't want to learn how to use styles but Word didn't help either.
- pdm55 10y agoWord was fine for my PhD. My supervisor from those times - now 80 and still collaborating with scientists from around the world - has written hundreds of papers with it. I think I can speak for him when I say that over the last 30 years he has found it a far more reliable option than the typewriter and carbon paper he used to write his own PhD in the 1960s. I frequently use Excel for calculations. Just the simplest way to check I have entered the correct numbers.
