I’ve just finished my GPS report. It’s a dinky little one, only 1744 words, it took me about four hours to write and format. But even in such a small report, I had three Word-defined sections. It was still damned annoying how Word kept changing the way I formatted the page numbering. “Stop it! What’d you do that for?! No, I said BREAK that link!” I was so relieved when I finally hit “Print to PDF”. I like PDF because once it’s there, no one, not even Mr Schizo Word can change it.

Of course, I had to print to PDF about five times because every time I checked it in Acrobat Reader, Word had somehow sneaked in a change between the time I checked the last page number and the time I moved the mouse ten centimetres to the ‘Print’ button.
