i am at work trying to finish a test case that i've been writing for three days. after i finished a series of extensive and time-consuming improvements to the test case, i noticed that the outline table for the test case repeats the first page of rows about sixty times. normally, this would be easy to fix: select repeated rows and delete. however, microsoft words feels like being ornery today. i cannot select the rows. clicking all over the sixty extra pages appears to be useless because i can't place the cursor in any of the repeated rows. selecting only the first page and deleting those rows also deletes all the repeated rows.
i deleted the entire outline and replaced it with a copy of the outline from an earlier version of the test case. i continued making changes to the test case and noticed that the problem had returned. i used the Undo function until the i found the action that caused the first page of the outline to repeat sixty times: deleting rows from the outline. not that it makes any sense, but that's what happens. instead of screaming, i decided to bitch about it on this blog. now, i have to open an empty test case template and recreate the test case by hand. this blows.
