Not only were they typed and screen readable, but she had figured out how the Word outlines thing worked and filled bookmarked notes into the syllabus. I still don’t know how to do what she did, but the ease of use versus the usual hand-written photocopied notes I got was impressive. I really like the idea of “edge-case users” who may find capabilities that already exist, but no one knows how to use usefully, or gaps in functionality that other people are unconsciously compensating for.
