From MacWorld

By Bayle Emlein

(Anonymous Company[that part is probably irrelevant]) youthful rep/shill, trying to impress me with a 'word processing' app for iOS: "This is a new version, a full featured word processing application."

Me: "Oh, great! The version I have is about 2 years old."

Anon: "This is new. It has all the features of a full word processor."

Me: "Wonderful. How do you start the Outline function."

Anon: "You mean draw a line around it?"

Me: "No. Outline as in organize ideas, to help with writing. [Visualize appropriate hand gestures to indicate vertical list, with indentations.]

   

Anon: "Draw a circle around it? I think you do that in [another of their apps] drawing or handwriting."

Me: "Uh, not like that, for organizing writing. You know:

    1. Main Idea

         A. Supporting Idea

         B. Other supporting idea

    2. Next Main idea

         A. Supporting Idea

         B. Other supporting idea . . ."

(Still no light anywhere in the tunnel)

Anon: "Maybe you could just write it out that way??"

Me: "And save it as a Template?"

Anon: "Umm. Yeah? And then use it again?? I think that could work ?"

Me: "Thank you."
