But Will It Help Its Melting Popularity?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For years now, Microsoft Word has been the favorite punching bag of writers throughout the world of tech and education. Slate\u2019s Tom Scocca hit a vein with his 2012 rant titled \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.slate.com\/articles\/technology\/technology\/2012\/04\/microsoft_word_is_cumbersome_inefficient_and_obsolete_it_s_time_for_it_to_die_.single.html\"><span class=\"s2\">Death to Word<\/span><\/a>.\u2019 The issues he raises probably number in the dozens, but the most salient reads as follows: \u201cLike the fax machine, Word was designed to put things on paper.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">And yet, Word remains one of the most widely used word processors. Countless hacky clickbait-type listicles still rank it the best word processor. While wholly unscientific, they reflect a general mood.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Microsoft Word Lost Major Ground to Google Docs in K-12 Classrooms<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many students in K-12 classrooms, however, are learning in a post-Word environment. According to a New York Times report last year, over half of the U.S.\u2019s roughly 50 million primary and secondary students use Google products, including Docs. Another smaller section wield Apple Pages. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Once the king of basic operational software, Microsoft Word is not quite taking this insurgency lying down. In January of this year, the company announced it would be prototyping<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the new \u2018Editor Overview Pane.\u2019 The new feature began to rollout last week. It goes beyond underlining what the software perceives to be incorrect spelling, grammar, or syntax. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Microsoft summarizes it with three points of improvement as follows:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201c1. Showing a categorized Overview of writing enhancement opportunities:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s3\"><b>Corrections\u00a0<\/b>are issues you\u2019re strongly advised to fix.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s3\"><b>Refinements\u00a0<\/b>give optional advice on stylistic or situational matters.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b><\/b><span class=\"s3\"><b>Counters<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0<b>Checkmarks\u00a0<\/b>track progress &amp; celebrate achievement.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2. Drawing attention to elements of Good Writing:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s3\">Gives writers a dashboard for\u00a0<b>self-assessment.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s3\">Gives teachers a scorecard to drive\u00a0<b>learning goal conversations.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s3\">Presents the\u00a0<b>breadth and depth\u00a0<\/b>of checks in a manageable way.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Making it easy to fix just those categories that matter to your writing goals:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s3\">Scrub the\u00a0<b>whole document\u00a0<\/b>linearly<b>\u00a0<\/b>\u2013 or\u00a0<b>a Category at a time.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s3\">Fix in a recommended\u00a0<b>sequence<\/b>: Spelling &gt; Grammar &gt; Refinements.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s3\">Spend time on Categories you want to\u00a0<b>focus<\/b>\u00a0on.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As of last week, the editor was made available to all Office 365 subscribers with the proper hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The move seems somewhat tone deaf, considering the fact that Microsoft Word frequently flags grammar and syntax that are, in fact, correct. Its accepted spellings of words are also know to be out of date or simply wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1>Which Word Processor?<\/h1>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Still\u2014and yes this sounds exceedingly cliche\u2014there is no perfect word processor. Besides K-12 classrooms, Google Docs has also recently taken over the professional world. But the work environment created by Docs where anyone can edit in real time isn\u2019t always ideal. Sharing via shareable link opens up the possibility for strangers to break into your prose and get comfortable. The New Yorker\u2019s Katy Waldman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/culture-desk\/do-capybaras-dream-of-google-docs\"><span class=\"s2\">recently described<\/span><\/a> Docs\u2019 collaborative environment (along with its anonymous animals) as a \u2018psychic Zoo space.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6136\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6136\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6136\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/16543916238_68ce9aec7c_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"410\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/16543916238_68ce9aec7c_o.jpg 950w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/16543916238_68ce9aec7c_o-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/16543916238_68ce9aec7c_o-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Li Kelly, Flickr.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe app activates fears that are rooted not in logic but in magic;\u201d Waldman writes, \u201cthe lock of hair gives the sorcerer power over the maiden; once the manuscript brushes elbows with the public seating chart, it is revealed to the same set of prying eyes. I cannot be in the same Google Doc as my editor; it is a mutual violation of privacy, and the surest route in the Google cloud to an anxiety attack.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Writing one\u2019s diary entries in Docs is also a good way for advertisers purchasing Google\u2019s data to target one\u2019s behaviors and vulnerabilities with laser precision. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Apple Pages, meanwhile, is less used and, in many work spaces, wholly incompatible. Yes, it is some good, simple software and no, it doesn&#8217;t track each word you write. But it won\u2019t matter if you still need to copy and paste to a Word or Docs file in order to share it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Waldman\u2014a Docs user\u2014concludes, writing, \u201cAs Google Docs slowly and inevitably conquers its space, Microsoft Word has inspired a slew of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.haibane.info\/2012\/04\/18\/in-defense-of-microsoft-word\/\"><span class=\"s4\">ride-or-die defenses<\/span><\/a>, despite its jankier interface and its price tag that never received the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/news\/finance-and-economics\/21727073-economists-struggle-work-out-how-much-free-economy-comes-cost\"><span class=\"s4\">free-economy<\/span><\/a>\u00a0memo. What instinct keeps some of us tied to Word? Perhaps a love of the familiar. A desire for control. A longing for the illusion that we get to compose only for ourselves, and then, when we die,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2010\/09\/26\/magazine\/26kafka-t.html\"><span class=\"s4\">our friends will burn the pages<\/span><\/a>. But Google Docs forces the writer to view her text as a sandbox, played in and raked and molded by unknown multitudes. There is something empowering in that vision. Typing these thoughts directly into the cloud, I feel as though I am convening a squad, like Nick Fury. The welcome mat lies on the doorstep. The bowls of water for the quaggas and wombats are ready.
