An odd question JoAnn? I thought that was what I asked?

No - my question is just a matter of curiosity that has nothing to do with
Word and has a definitive answer. Your question, or rather your instructor's question, does *not*. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "godmongo" wrote in message ... An odd question JoAnn?

You're still not getting it. It's not that we don't know the answer or that
we know and just aren't telling you: you have asked a question to which THERE IS NO ANSWER. I suspect that even if you asked the devs at Microsoft who designed Word, you would not get an answer. As others have suggested, if you can phrase the question in such a way that you are asking for something that can actually be counted, then you might be closer to an answer. -- Suzanne S.

Its well over 2500. Thats an answer to my question. Someone else was able
to answer this were you and the others could not. Oh and if you notice my question has two parts. The second part states "Has anyone ever gotten the count of features that are on word?" This one in a way would have eliminated my first question. Just by someone answering "We don't think so." or "Maybe someone has but we don't know who or what the answer is." Well since apparently none of you had, your answer should have been No. So no one needs to reply anymore. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You're still not getting it.

First of all, all I did was ask a question. Yeah maybe it could have been
worded different. But instead of saying so JoAnn started by calling it stupid. Why? I was once told the only stupid question is the one not asked. And the rest of you have done no better. Instead of asking me to reword my question you fling insults at it. I would have been glad to have done that. But instead I was defending myself against people I don't even know. And in turn do not know me. John to say someone is stupid puts you in the pool with them. You don't know me so how can you judge if I am stupid or not. As far you statement "Someone once told me that the most important thing when you find yourself arguing with an idiot is to ensure that he is not doing the same..." you failed. Espeacially when you said "Duh!" I apologize to all for bringing this question to your attention. It was my hope that someone had heard this question before and could help me with it. Like I told JoAnn before she started insulting me "Any help would be apperciated." To tell you the truth I didn't know what the Professor meant by features either. That's why I gave some examples of what I thought they were to JoAnn when she asked. And this was not my homework in any case. It was just one of those questions that teachers ask to make you think. And I did, I thought that there were too many to count. And some of you kind of gave me that answer but not in a kind way. I don't know why I am explaining this to a group of people I don't even know. Maybe because I reached out for help and knowledge and got nothing in turn. So maybe the next time someone ask a stupid question you won't belittle them and say they are stupid. Maybe you can use a little tact and try to get the person to reword their question. Or just don't bother with it if it can't be answered. In many cases a simple "I can't answer that question the way it is worded. Could you reword it please?" Or "I can not answer that question because there is no answer." Or something to that effect would have been better. And John I was not trying to be arrogant. I don't know how that came across.

Keith and I were discussing this earlier this evening. He agrees with me -
it's a stupid question. Even if you say adding a bullet is a feature. But then you can change the color of the bullet, the size, the font, the space before, the space after, the paragraph format before, the paragraph format after, etc. Had I been asked that question in a class, I would have asked the instructor to define the term "feature". -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Suzanne S.

Like I told JoAnn before she started insulting me "Any help would be apperciated." To tell you the truth I didn't know what the Professor meant by features either. That's why I gave some examples of what I thought they were to JoAnn when she asked. And this was not my homework in any case. It was just one of those questions that teachers ask to make you think. And I did, I thought that there were too many to count. And some of you kind of gave me that answer but not in a kind way. I don't know why I am explaining this to a group of people I don't even know. Maybe because I reached out for help and knowledge and got nothing in turn. So maybe the next time someone ask a stupid question you won't belittle them and say they are stupid. Maybe you can use a little tact and try to get the person to reword their question. Or just don't bother with it if it can't be answered. In many cases a simple "I can't answer that question the way it is worded. Could you reword it please?" Or "I can not answer that question because there is no answer." Or something to that effect would have been better. And John I was not trying to be arrogant. I don't know how that came across.

Features
I don't think we are dealing with a stupid person. I think we are dealing
with a lonely person. Usually when I say or do something stupid I try to find a hole to crawl into and avoid attention. This poor soul wants attention and is therefore perpetuating this silly string. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. JoAnn Paules [MVP] wrote: Keith and I were discussing this earlier this evening. He agrees with me - it's a stupid question. Even if you say adding a bullet is a feature. But then you can change the color of the bullet, the size, the font, the space before, the space after, the paragraph format before, the paragraph format after, etc. Had I been asked that question in a class, I would have asked the instructor to define the term "feature".
