Office Peeve of the Day
Stuffing everything into an Excel spreadsheet. Labels: Complaints, Productivity, Software, Work
Look, spreadsheets are for numbers. That's why they were invented, that's what they're good for. Just because you are able to paste paragraphs and paragraphs of text into a cell doesn't mean you should. It kills keyboard navigation, makes things impossible to print, and makes cutting and pasting a nightmare.
Just stop. Please get over your fear of a blank page and having to think that because you're writing a document your inability to write coherently can be hidden by stuffing things into a grid of cells and colour coding everytihng to the point that it becomes unreadable.
