A Different Microsoft World

I have a client who communicates exclusively via Microsoft Word. If she has something to tell me, I’ll receive an email with nothing in the body, but a Word doc attached. That’s where she writes her message. Whenever she wants to email me a photo, she does so via an empty Word doc with said photo set as its background. But my favorite thing was the first time I witnessed her visiting a website. She had me spell the URL (“W... W... W... dot...”) and with my own two eyes I watched her type it into Word, made it a hyperlink, and Ctrl click it to go there. I was so fascinated I didn’t even say anything. #this person is living in an entirely different world a different microsoft world

A screenshot shows a humorous workplace anecdote about a client who communicates exclusively through Microsoft Word, including sending messages as attachments, placing photos as document backgrounds, and typing website URLs into Word to open them as hyperlinks. The punchline is that her unfamiliarity with ordinary email and web browsing makes her seem to live in “a different Microsoft world,” so the meme is used to react to bafflingly outdated or technologically unusual behavior.
