Tbf trying to position things in Word is enraging. I get the appeal of having an explicit grid.
- kevin_thibedeau 1mo agoAccess gives you an explicit grid in its report designer.
- mpyne 1mo agoExcel is already a solid grid without a separate report designer being necessary.
- kevin_thibedeau 1mo agoExcept the OP had to write VBA code to link it to a database. That is almost guaranteed to be a brittle solution with hardcoded cell IDs.
- kccqzy 1mo agoThis is another thing Apple does right. Pages allows you to turn off the inline text and use only absolutely positioned non-floating text boxes. In this mode It’s more similar to desktop publishing tools than word processing tools.
- sgarland 1mo agoReally? That’s awesome! I’ve never bothered to use it, because GSuite is right there, but I will definitely keep that in mind.
