I love Excel! The best part of my job is where I get to use Excel. The worst parts are where I have to use power point or interact with other people. Sadly, most of time is spent on PPT and interacting these days. :(
Nah, the worst part is when I have to watch someone else use Excel.
YOU DON'T NEED TO RIGHT CLICK AND SELECT COPY. YOU CAN JUST PRESS CTRL+C.
And virtually none of them know how to paste values, so all the templates end up messed up.
True, watching other people use Excel is painful. I used to have a coworker that was so good at Excel that she didn't use a mouse at all and was way quicker than anyone else. She made me feel guilty whenever I was the one being watched because I knew she must be frustrated watching me do things with shortcuts and the mouse.
as long as you don't think the function bar is a search bar. coworker opened my excel spreadsheet and I guess thought it functioned like Google?
I was right behind her to train so no formulas were injured.
Not Excel, just general computer usage- my daughter refuses to Control-C and Control-V and right clicks instead and it drives me nuts.
Like my wife who uses Caps Lock to create capital letters. I've told her to use shift but she's too far gone.
This could be a typewriter holdover. I have vague recollections of some shitty '70's typewriters having only a caps lock (or rather shift lock) toggle to save on two keys. I might have hallucinated that, though. It's been a while.
Or she is just being obtuse. I don't know how old you two are.
We're in our 40's, so not old enough for typewriters. I do remember my dad had one at his workplace though!
It's all fun and games until they find a text box control that doesn't have the right click menu enabled. Then they're baffled.
I am about to scream at the number of people who use Google Slides as a method to document policy.
