I'm filling out a Word Doc and the instructions are:
Quote: Please e-mail a scanned copy of the form and the relevant documentation to ...
So I'm to fill in the Word doc, print it, scan it, and email it back.
cheers

You definitely should dump them. The correct procedure is to fax it back.

They could have wanted a scanned copy of a printed copy of a screenshot of a scanned copy of the printed document, so be thankful that they kept it simple.
(I actually received an image like that as part of a bug report about such images not being readable.  )

Better send it on a floppy.

And the floppy must be delivered by a rider of the Pony Express, who must protect it with his life.

Hoho. Our CEO's PA would type up stuff in word for the monthly board papers, convert it to a PDF, print it, then scan it back in as a PDF to email it to the board members. Perhaps she went to the same school as the people at your bank...

You can't buy a bank in Greece at the moment!
You can only withdraw €60, and any Greek bank is worth at least €75...

I take it they don't require your signature on the document?
The only time I have had to do this is when I need to sign something - when it does make sense to print, scan and email it back.

Did you intentionally skip "Sign it" between print it & scan it?

Name and shame. Which bank is it?
If this is representative of their grasp on technology, you kinda hope they have no presence on the web.

Be a rebel. Take a photo of the monitor with your phone, print that, scan, etc...

It does? That does sound annoying, especially if the pointer is somewhere at the edge of the screen. It's been a while since I used VS, which version does this, or was it always like that?
The other ones, I've got used to them, I don't even notice it happens.

1. Are you sure that's Microsoft's fault; never happened to me (C++ or C# projects)?
2. One of the more useful features of Windows, I use it all the time.
3. Another useful feature of Windows, although I use it less often.

|

I use feature 3 the most of 2 and 3.
|
|
|
|
|
Hate to say it, but this all sounds like PEBKAC. Features 2 and 3 were based off feedback - I was one of said "jackasses" who asked for feature 2 because this is incredibly useful and I have never seen 1, having used every version of Visual Studio since VS97.
