Reminds of a time when my boss wanted to print out some forms that were essentially just a bunch of columns and rows with a date at the top of the page. He wanted one page for each day of the year. And for all my programming knowledge (30 or so years) this problem turned out to a pain in the ass. I imagine if I were an expert in back-end scripting MS Word, then maybe it would have been easy, but how many of those experts do you know? I don't think I've met a one. It seems like such an easy problem, the lay person would think it could be done in minutes --a few hours at most. After two days of trying to write a Ruby script using (at the time new and unfortunately buggy) Prawn postscript generator, my boss told me to stop wasting time and get back to work.
