I expected the same reaction from both my wife and my boss when they

Probably not because that file (applications) is a protected area on

There are many files there that need to be kept Hidden from un aware

That is part of my point. I use Word almost everyday.
Some days it is simple edit print. Other days it is a mail merge,
envelope addressing.
Maybe another day laying out a form etc.

I'm sorry that you're having such a tough time with objective reality, Tom.
Should I tell them that they're doing it all wrong?
Here is kind of where you are right and wrong.
When they introduced 07 they kind of took 03 off the market so you
did not have much of a choice on a paid office suite.
A number of states and a few nations are insisting on an open office
compatibility that MS has resisted immensely.

A dumb way to do it.
Rather a shame that actual users don't agree with you.

What MS forgot, was we spent years learning how to use their Word
Processor and were quite happy with it. We did not ask them to
change the menu system on it.
They also forgot that they once had a very good word processor that was
very logical and easy to use. They have steadily crapped it

What they attempted to do was what I dislike about some Word
Processor users. They wanted to make it more like a page layout
program, but forgot the fine controls needed to male them good.
Word Perfect was a great word processor but then they insisted on
adding crap so it could do fancy page
