  Old  A designer's responsibilty?

Ok, so you're a designer with couple years freelancing, self taught and just grauated with a degree and you're hired my a reputable design studio.

Tell me good friends, will the designer ever be required to format a MS Word document?

Will the designer ever have to type up anything that required extesive knowlege of MS Word?

Feel free to discuss a junior designer or assistant designer's responsibilty.

If you're getting paid, who cares?

Your responsibility is what the company says your responsibility is. If they say you need to write up documents in Word then thats what you have to do.

I agree. As long as it's not ridiculous like cleaning bathrooms, you shouldn't complain. Unless you're underpaid then you should complain regardless. But yea, MS Word knowledge is required in just about every computer field. (except hardware and such)

I think you will probably NEED a basic knowledge, if they want you to have an extensive knowledge they might send you on a course? Microsoft Word is pretty basic as a whole though.

A person earning over $15 an hour on a computer should be capable of typing up a document in a software like MS Word :-)

I agree with this, although there are many out there that can't.

If people can't type out a simple word document then they shouldn't be getting paid $15 an hour.
