Ravings of a Textual Deviant

D: Have you ever formated a document for electronic signatures?

Me: No, I haven’t. I didn’t know any areas here were doing that.

D: Yeah, we are but it’s formatted with lines and the [Approver] won’t sign off on it ‘cos he says it looks like a paper document.

Me: *facepalm*

D: Yeah and if I take the lines out, then “Print name, Signature, Department, and Date” are all just floating in air.

Me: Tell your [Approver] it’s part of the document template.

D: Ummm, he isn’t the type to accept that.

Me: Does anyone else care if you take the lines out?

D: I don’t see why they would. The information is still there.

Me: Then you may as well take them out and live with the floating.

D: Yeah, I know but my desktop publishing type brain is cringing at it.

Me: Close your eyes and think of England.
