I agree. There may be many more "intermediate" people than one might
imagine. Perhaps they are even the majority.
Yesterday I had to work with Powerpoint again. The quotes in the
presentation were all wrong, so I tried a Search&Replace. Guess what?
While trying to substitute `` (that's an opening quote symbol, don't
want to send UTF-8 to this list) for », Powerpoint did that, but it
also replaced all occurences of ''. And all occurences of ". That's
because a novices doesn't know the difference anyway. But I do. Well,
probably I have to do some VB stuff, but I'm not an expert in this field
either. No, I'm in between.
Bye,
Mike
