Reading Layout
So I went to do a video shoot for this weekend and when I came back the document I was working on looked different. I was editing a chapter of In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day and there were random sentences consisting of letters repeated about twenty times. And I had never seen a dual-page layout in Word.
It was an unsolved mystery till I discovered that Josiah had hopped on my computer while I was gone. Fortunately, he didn't delete anything. And I'm sure copy editors will catch any sentences that consist of a few letters repeated multiple times. But the funny this is this: Josiah discoved a feature on my computer that I didn't even know existed. I had no idea there was a Reading Layout in Word but it is revolutionizing my life :) I actually think it'll help me write this book :) I can see the text in book format. How cool is that?
I think I'm going to let Josiah get on my computer more often and see what he discovers. I've always wondered if there was a delete feature I don't know about :) That would be so great if I could just delete instead of starting a new document every time I made a mistake :) What if that feature already existed and I didn't know about it :)

Ever tried white-out? =)

This key will change your life forever...
How do you view it as a book? That's awesome?!
FWIW, the book layout in Word is one I DON'T like or use very often, because it doesn't actually show you your doc in true book format, i.e., the two facing pages on your screen DO NOT accurately reflect two ACTUAL pages in your doc. It simply blows it up onto facing pages for "readability." Makes no sense why it does it this way...good ol' Microsoft wisdom. Long live WordPerfect! :)
Keep up the great work, dude!
Peace.

You'll like Word and Office 2007. I've been using the beta version and it's very nice.
Except for the main Outlook window, all applications have replaced the one-dimensional menus with two-dimensional "ribbons." They make a lot more of the features in the programs a lot more accessible. And the status bar is a lot more useful now as well.
