Message: <blockquote data-quote="Estlor" data-source="post: 1049667" data-attributes="member: 7261">Making it look pretty in Word isn't a problem.  It's getting to that point.  Word does some pretty stupid things when you play with it.  Some examples I've run across just in working on the SRD:1. Brute force styles that have nothing to do with the style the source document used.  If I want it to be header text, I'll make it header text.  Stop trying to help me by making everything ugly.2. Text box location wankiness.  I drag the text box from where the bottom of the box rests on the bottom margin to where the top of the box is on the top margin.  Word magically transports the box so that the upper left corner is on the upper left corner of the PHYSICAL page and will not let it be moved.  Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.3. The disappearing table.  Highlight text before or after a table and sometimes you'll cut, delete, copy, or whatever command you're doing to the ENTIRE table itself.  And never once did I select a part of the table.  This happens with text boxes too.4. Random text box rearrangement.  For some of my things I'm doing text boxes on text boxes.  I find I need more room so I enlarge the lower box, and now suddenly the box on top of it finds it's way down (or up, it depends) a page way off to the side beyond the physical page margin.5. No resizes.  Hold down ALT and resize those table columns.  Oh wait, for some reason Word won't resize the ones in the psionics part of the SRD.  Or ones you paste from Excel.  Or movements less than 0.05 of an inch.</blockquote>
