powerpoint 2007 - ink sucks

alexei — Sun, 11/05/2008 - 10:06

Well, tried to use powerpoint 2007 to prepare some lectures today only to find a nasty surprise … ink support has taken a giant step backwards and is just about unusable. It seems that the intrepid programmers at Microsoft are colossally shortsighted and only see ink as useful for temporary annotations: you cannot select the ink by dragging a selection rectangle or using select-all, you’re reduced to clicking on each stroke. Ink can’t be grouped with non ink objects but must be treated separately… amazing how much this makes ink useless. And the morons wonder why the tabletPC is not doing so well.
