Dear Peo,

First, as a MVP your tone is completely unprofessional. Second of all, the
more important issue is Microsoft's complete lack of consistency between
programs when they tote this as been such (as you clearly demonstrated).
This is simply identifies another lack of inconsistency between programs and
now, even versions, which frustrates dedicated users of MS products. I will
note that the office suite is getting much better and many kudos to the
developers for going in the right direction.

Cheers!
