Yeah, it's crazy how people seem to have so little understanding of how to use basic apps, like Office. I guess it's partially a failing of UX, etc. The vast majority of people I work with have no idea how styles in Word are supposed to work.... although that is definitely a case of poor UX.
I think in this case it's not that they don't know how. They can do it fine for in-peson presentations, but suddenly they are doing an online presentation and they don't feel the need to go into presentation mode anymore.
Ah right... I guess maybe they don't quite understand the concept of screen sharing?
I have no idea.
It's a failure in education. Companies just don't train staff in how to use Office. You're expected to just already know how.
Office is incredibly complex and powerful, and most users probably only know of a hundredth of the feature available.
True, but Office is also really shit in a whole range of ways, some of which make it confusing.
Fortunately, I get to refuse to use it ;-)
Occasionally I'll use LibreOfice Calc if I need a spreadsheet.
I just can't find anything in Calc :(. I'm too used to Excel, which I made a career out of at one point.
I can't find anything in excel either!
Haha at least in newer versions of excel you can search for what you want and it will tell you which menu to find it in. I haven't seen that in calc.
