Microsoft Word RIP
Another Scrivener convert.
I especially like the pie chart showing feature bloat in Word. I already knew, but this visualizes how Microsoft went wrong after Word 95.

Interesting that what you got out of this is the author converted to Scrivener. What I got out if it was that Word is dead and wikis are where we write now.
@Allison,
You are right about the author's point. But he also explains his word processor of choice is Scrivener, which is probably my single favorite Mac app.
"Why do we do this? Because everyone uses Word, so we have to. And why does everyone use Word? Because everyone uses Word."
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Ok I took the bait and downloaded Scrivener. I am almost through the tutorial. I am impressed. I think you need to blog about 10 unique ways you use Scrivener in your law practice. Just reading the tutorial is flooding my mind with ideas. Obviously briefs, but with split screen you could use for transcription or put a deposition transcript in the top and take notes in the lower screen. Trial notebook. And the full screen with ability to have reference material in the background. I can see why this is you favorite Mac program. So how about it, tell us more about how you use Scrivener. And do you ever use it and export to Keynote?
