My DSLR isn't dead but I've been looking at mirrorless cameras.

I've been buying Canon digital cameras since I started buying digital cameras. I've been used to doing things certain ways. Not sure what these changes will mean for my photography.

As you know, I like close work and I believe there are advantages.

[dewline]

I've been focused on family events, streetscapes, and street name signage. Different goals, right?

I though "now" in the title was a tad odd, as my MS Word has done this for ages, but I see they clarify at the end of the article that it has indeed been a feature since early 2020.

I'm clearly getting old, as early 2020 doesn't feel that long ago. Why we've only had one pandemic since then! :-)

[andrewducker]

I do use Word, to write documentation, position papers, etc.

But not that often.

Other Word Processors?

[dewline]

I wonder about Pages, OpenOffice, etc. and whether I can expect to have similar features available in those programs?

I hope so.
