Guys Kamala is 60 and a career politician. I don’t think this is a given.

My HR manager is also 60 and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.

Nothing is a given in this life.

and routinely publishes the company newsletter as a .docx.

This is good or bad?

Using an easily editable format seems good. Microsoft though

A) Why would a newsletter need to be editable?

B) The vast majority of our staff access the newsletter via their phones, and will not care to install an app just so they can read it.

Also the new intern might not be able to do this either. There’s a surprisingly narrow age range where this skill set is expected

Yeah but the career politician part means that she hasn’t had a job since McDonald’s that didn’t come with at least half a dozen underpaid assistants, so it’s a fair assumption.

She was also a lawyer early on in her career. I’m sure as an office gopher she handle plenty a PDF, printing, copying faxing and DOCX.

Early on in her career was before pdfs were a thing.

How old are you?

Kamala Harris was already middle aged when the DOCX standard was released or the workflow of converting a word to pdf became common. All of that stuff really didn’t hit mainstream until the Obama administration. It would have probably even been longer for a legal office to adopt it.

I think it’s safe to say she knows how to use Microsoft Word (or something like Lotus Notes), print a document, and even scan something to a pdf. I bet you could also teach her how to use ether “print to PDF” function fairly quickly. However if you just plop her in front of a computer and tell her to go at it I think the most likely result is Kamala swearing at the ribbon interface…
