It’s somewhat inefficient to manipulate text using the mouse while writing because it requires the writer to constantly switch between having both hands on the keyboard and having a hand on the mouse. Truly effective financial analysts are defined in part by their mastery of fast spreadsheet manipulation - the most advanced even write macros to automate their most common tasks.īut Word lacks anything beyond the most rudimentary keyboard shortcuts. When one of my friends was starting a summer internship in finance, she was sent an excel workbook before her start date, with the sole purpose of learning as many Excel shortcuts as possible. To contrast with most writers, employees in some industries really learn to use the best tools.
But what I don’t fully understand among writers is why they choose to stay with the clumsy and bloated Word for writing purposes, when there are far more effective and efficient tools available for writing text.
It’s a wonderful piece of software that truly revolutionized what word processing meant, making it easy and intuitive for anyone to start creating documents on their PC. Most writers I know use Microsoft Word for their writing and editing.
