Mac Office

Just so everyone knows, I hate Mac Office. Especially Excel. For some reason, it gets into modes where it will crash on the second time I try to copy values from Excel to another program. It also crashed when Mac moved the window position as a response to my unplugging an additional monitor.

This crashing functionality caused me a lot of grief as I tried to complete scholarship applications, many of which wanted sorted lists of classes to be entered into text boxes on their web pages. Yeah it was a pain.

However, tonight is the first long night of the semester. It's 2 in the morning, and I'm trying to plot some graphs.. yeah, I should be using R or gnuplot, but Excel is good for quick and dirty stuff. Anyway, I'm trying to copy the graphs from Excel to Word. It has crashed a couple times on the copy, but the latest grief was caused when I was trying to change the data labels. Normally, in Excel, you right click on the graph, and click "Select Data" which takes you to a window where you can rename plots and stuff. In Word, the right click menu has "Edit Data" which looked good to me, so I clicked it. Unfortunately, I got this error window:



Hm. I choose "OK"?

Anyway, that's the latest reason why I hate Mac Office.
