Font: I was working on a document in Microsoft word for a while before I headed out to a meeting today (09/18/07). And while in the meeting (a boring one), I was thinking about the document processor and how it works. How the "bold" option makes the font bold, the italic slants it down etc. As I was thinking about the options for Fonts, I was asking myself why is there no 'narrow' font option when you have the Bold option?. A Ctrl+B boldens the word but a Ctrl+N, opens a new window....No correlation at all. And, there are 4 basic things there: Regular,Italic,Bold and Underline. Underline obviously is the odd man out. The other three alter the font, while underline adds something to it....shouldn't it be with the subscript, superscript etc?. And Why is Italic just leaning towards the right? Why can't we chose which way it should lean?. I have seen quite a few people whose handwrting leans the other side. Would it be so bad to have something written like \ \ ? And, we only have an under line option not an upperline. Why is that so? And when did someone decide that words can only be underlined?? Can't we have a Ctrl+Shift+U to draw a line above instead of the Underline which Ctrl+U does? A very familiar Font Dialog box, which we all have given ourselves into, has so many things that can be looked at...and I never really thought of it until today....Amusing or Amazing....I don't know.
