Just a tiny page numbering tip for MS Word. When I wrote my last paper, I created a title page using sections (because I like the title information centered in the page), did a different header and footer for the next section, where the paper started, and inserted an automatic page number. Of course, the page number was "2," because that's the default - number all the pages. My professor called me on it, because of course, the title page doesn't count as a page, so jumped to the conclusion that I needed to play around with the field codes when writing this second paper for him. I think my field code idea may have been true many versions ago when I was first a tech writer or when I was teaching software applications. Now, however, the option has been moved to an easier part of the UI (user interface)... at least, if you know to look for it. Insert a page number using the Insert Auto Text option on the Header and Footer toolbar. Then move just three buttons down on that same toolbar to the Format Page Number button. Using this button, you can include the chapter number , change the number format, and decide whether you want to continue numbering from the previous section or start at some other number. Very useful. Can't imagine why I didn't remember it was there. Permanent Link to this entry: Permanent Link
Wow, guys - thank you so much! I suspect had my brain been slightly less fuzzy, I might've found some of your solutions on my own, but clearly I needed the assist. I've downloaded iPodRip based on what Warren, Matt, and Adrienne pointed me to. It's currently in the process of loading iPod data, so I certainly hope that's got me fixed up. One of the nice things about having friends (and articles) point you to shareware is that you have some certainty that it is both useful and not trojan-y spyware. I've become a bit too paranoid for my own good, possibly. For now, I like the software - I'll report back when I know more. Permanent Link to this entry: Permanent Link |
