Word is basically an operating system. Unix people like to make fun of Emacs for being one, but Word is basically one, too. And all the features in there are used, otherwise Microsoft wouldn't keep them around.
- furyofantares 3mo agoHaha, I misread as "word games" and was very confused about the claim.
- reddalo 3mo ago>Word is basically an operating system. And .doc files are basically a memory dump.
- someguyiguess 3mo agoDump is a great word for it
- galangalalgol 3mo agoThat was certainly true once, but now all that state is serialized to xml amd zipped up. You can unzip it and look at it if you don't value your sanity.
- oblio 3mo agoSo what you're saying is that the files are basically a memory dump formatted as XML? :-p
- galangalalgol 3mo agoA selective menory dump that when deserialized can ignore fields not present its version, but yeah.
- reddalo 3mo agoThat's why I said .doc. The format you're talking about is called .docx
