FINALLY, today, he sends...well, what appears to be one page of it.

It's made in Google SHEETS. Each and every line, is a paragraph, apparently. There are no first-line-indents, no space between the...apparent paragraphs.

The font is 2.63pt Arial. 2.63point! I had to zoom it to 300%, to begin to read it. And that's with my cheaters on.

I confess, I'm pretty aghast. I would say speechless, but obviously, here I am kvetching about it, so not speechless.

I mean, do people not use word processors, ever? I just had a lady that was still--in 2022!!!--using MSFT WORKS, which I think has been d/ced for what, 30 years? And now this. This one takes the damn cake.

Your mention of Microsoft Works reminded me of this oldie. Apologies if I've posted it already.
