1Sub.dev – A world where people pay for software

I think this is kind of disproven by a feature that was added to Microsoft Word in the 1990s (I don't think it is still around, although I may be mistaken). It was called "WordArt" and let the user do things like write the word "shark" with the letters deformed so it looked like a picture of a shark. Why would you want to do this? I have no idea. It's just obvious that the people working on Microsoft Word needed to add something and just bug fixes weren't enough, I guess (although they still don't have a reference management system which is why things like EndNote still exist)

I wonder if you are trolling or being serieus, because me and literally everyone i know would use this feature extensively. For powerpoints, school presentations, birthday cards. 50% of the time I fired up Word, it would be for that feature.

I seriously have never seen this used ever. But it sounds like you are talking about children using it, which I hadn't considered (I was already an adult in the 1990s).

Are you kidding? That would actually make presentations fun again.
