Stop making documents that are not printed on the premise of printing

 Creating documents is indispensable not only for business, but also in studying and hobby.A word processor app is used for various purposes.Among them, Microsoft Word, Google Document, and Ichitaro are classic.

 The other day, the use of Ichitaro was regarded as a problem in the government, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries has said that it is a de facto Ichitaro ban, as it has "used words in principle".There was a fuss.In some reports, it was said that it had triggered a mistake in the bill, and Ichitaro seemed to be water -like to sleep, a bit too poisonous.

 Ichitaro has just released the 2021 version the other day.I tried using it, but I was a little disappointed in a place where the writing method was defined by defining the width of the line assuming printing.

 Of course, this is the same for Microsoft Word and Google documentation.Barely, the Microsoft Word has a mode called "Web layout", which allows you to create an editariku document that maximizes the elements that depend on the paper size from the edit screen.However, both Word as a web application, and Google Documents are both prerequisite to create documents in the printed layout.

 When creating a document with a printed layout, what is in the way is the breakdown, left and right margins and pages needed to print on paper.These are not necessary for editing.Also, unless it is inevitable that it must be stored in one A4 vertical paper, there is no need to separate pages.On the contrary, there is no default position in the row.

 If you refer to the Google Document document with a smartphone app, there will be a comfortable editing screen that is unrelated to printing layouts.However, if the pinch operation is enlarged and reduced, the size of the character may become larger or smaller, but the line does not be reflow accordingly.

 On the other hand, the smartphone version of Office apps and smartphone version Word apps have a display mode called mobile view.In this mode, as in the Google Document application, the displayed layout can be displayed, and if the pinch operation is further enlarged, each line will be reflected according to the size of the character.This is really easy to use.This is because it is difficult to read the contents even if it is displayed in the A4 paper print layout on a small smartphone screen.

 It has been 12 years since this series asked, "How long do people make documents on the premise of printing?"I'm surprised that the zodiac seems to be going around, but the situation hasn't changed much, and at the same time I'm a little disappointed.At that time, smartphones and tablets were not common yet, but now everyone uses such devices with PCs.Nevertheless, it doesn't feel like the between smartphones and PCs is divided.
