Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least Germany seems to have standards for this since 1949, so I doubt this can be contributed to Microsoft (alone).
Yeah, whe learned these standards in school.
There were books of letter and document templates, folks. Microsoft did not invent the semi-block format.
Right?
I'd posit WWII was the single greatest influence in recent history for more extensive standardization of just about everything in the business/project management/production/transportation/logistics worlds, and guess what - they all use tools like documentation and communication documents.
There were typing pools... And somehow Word standardized how docs are written/created??
And this BS from a "professor".
There's a reason for the phrase "Piled higher, Deeper" and this "professor" exemplifies it.
