Today I spent some time editing a Word document. This is not an extraordinary thing on its own. In the year 2016 it is quite mundane.
However, I wasn’t just making a few simple changes to words or phrases, I was trying to edit a table. In one instance I was editing a table that was within a cell of another table.
I do not recommend doing this in Word unless someone is actively threatening you with a firearm or if refusing to do it would lead to something worse than Hitler.
Even then I would give it some serious thought.
I made the analogy to a co-worker that editing tables in Word was like driving a car with square wheels. Sure, it might be possible, but would you really want to do it?
No, you would not.
(The $9.99 in the title is the monthly price for the most popular Office 365 subscription, which gets you Word along with several other programs that might also drive you crazy if you try to create or edit tables in them.)
