Word rant
I love Microsoft Word.
If I try and insert Autotext "page X of Y", the entire Autotext menu is for some reason in German. None of my other menu items are in German, mind you. In what twisted, screwed up, Microsoft world does this make sense?
The only way I could get round it was to insert the German equivalent, and then edit "Seite, von" to "Page, of". And here's where it gets really screwy: the tooltip that Word pops up over the German autotext is in English.
How does this make any sense at all?
Before you ask, I have to use Word for this particular task. It's imposed by external requirements. Yes, I'd love to sue Bill Gates for damages to my mental health as a result of this. Anyone up for a class action lawsuit?
Update: uh, yeah, just changed the image file names so they get through content filters ;-)
