'A society is defined by its amalgamates, not by its tools' Office pre-empts this amalgamation providing tools and paths between them and the users. Word processing in between the public world of the document and those of the user. These worlds are subject to non-disclosure agreements, norms.
Microsoft Office builds a closed idea of workspace providing a disastrous number of features presented as standard, without taking care of their purpose, and the user disappears within the apparatus of work, related to the idea of autonomous behavior as an ideal of free work. Word allows autonomous work but parasites it and rides it. Surplus not needed but stored VS user's self-expanding or changing purpose or data-type. Not taylorist model of work but an expectation of the worker to internalize the entire app and be free in it.

objects in their place
Autonomous objects in oop but inner working and interrelations between objects are hidden from the user. Some hints from the interface.
The user becomes an object, excluded from the internal transmission of information but interacting with the reallocated elements in the interface. Allocated by their correspondence to the tasks of the user and clustered in groups on the screen. Then a hierarchy of sub-tasks. Strict protocols and wholeness of the tasks. Amalgamate with prioritisation of events, tasks, objects, data-type and uses. HELP
