I am absolutely pissed with MS.......... what a bullshit company.......... probably run by a band of stunned Nazis!!
Their phone number is no help, and their website AKA.MS/PWR is completely useless. What a crock of shit! If the shit-head nazis are listening............ Contact ME: riptide1066a@gmail.com
Me, too. Google Docs is handy but limited. Final Draft has a novel format but it's designed to be a dialog app and doesn't handle formatting issues well.
Too much stuff that's too difficult an cumbersome. I used to fly with excel, access an word (except word was sludgey). Now?? Retired no heavy lifting anymore. It's not worth the effort to unrack an getting more expensive every year. Prolly gonna get a chrome machine an drop MS next Year.
I so appreciate your frustration. In addition to the issue of trying to log in, my 92 year old Dad has a Microsoft email account. He now has to go through the two factor authentication in order to access it. So I set him up with a protonmail email account which he can get straight into. When his subscription with MS expires in a few months we will not renew it. If he had more time on this earth we'd get him a Mac. Good luck on your journey!
Two-factor authentication is something I appreciate from Google, Facebook, and other platforms. Microsoft just seems to speak a different language. Seems like they want to own us all. By the way, your dad at 92 is old enough to be my dad. We learn as well as we always have. ;-)
I feel your pain, Dave. I actually detest almost all technology companies. I got fed up with Microsoft when they started auto saving everything to the cloud. I'm not against pictures and some files to the cloud but, damn it, I want a say in the matter and I prefer that my writing does not go to the cloud until I have published. Personal preference but, apparently, Microsoft does not care about my personal preferences. I use Libra office for almost everything and will probably go to Lenux operating system when Microsoft 10 is not longer supported (which I am getting the notifications that that is coming). They are driving me to drink! Hang in there, Dave :).
PS. Three minutes after I posted my rant I got this text:
Thanks for contacting Microsoft. Here is your support link: AKA.MS/PWR. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel. Msg & Data rates may apply
Now I'm a damned conspiracy theorist.

I was always a WordPerfect man and was furious when the only option left was to go with that clunky Word program by that brutal monopoly Microsoft.

I feel yuh!
MS has gone the way of the dodo bird!
