I'm currently trying to layout a large format presentation in MS PowerPoint. It seems that you can't group anything with a table (that's been made using the INSERT>TABLE function). It's some pretty clear thinking again from our friends in Redmond. I mean, why would you want to group a table with another object (like a table caption or a footnote for example).
I'm truly sick of the relentless tide of lazy programing in PowerPoint that submerges my working day. How did this ever become an "industry standard"?

MS PowerPoint superscripting, subscripting, etc.
Why in the name of all that's holy are there no keyboard shortcuts for font effects (e.g. superscripting, subscripting, etc.) in MS PowerPoint? They exist in MS Word (e.g. CTRL+SHFT++ for superscripting) but seemingly nowhere else in the joy that is MS Office.
Did the wise old owls at Microsoft believe that PowerPoint would never really be in commercial use, where the widespread use of symbols like registered trademark, copyright, etc. would be used everyday? It takes sodding ages to superscript text. Nice touch, Microsoft.
