Man, you take one day away from your computer, and just miss SO much. Lots of red number to look through for Email, Newsfeed and Notifications. Where to start?

Are you retired and looking for a unique activity?

Perhaps you're like me--forced ... yes, I said, forced to retire in order to travel more and be under foot at home. I wonder if my wife considered how much under foot I would be while at home all day, every day.

I need something to do--perhaps, a paycheck every two weeks to keep my mind from atrophying. Here's the answer:

Forty-eight folks can't be all wrong.

Join us and collect a paycheck every two weeks for 2026.

As someone with a husband: NO, SHE DID NOT.

*LAUGH*
I wasn't forced to retire. It was more a case of running for the door, throwing laptops and company phones over my shoulder while serenading the assembled throng with an enthusiastic ad-hoc medley that included such highlights as The Hallelujah Chorus, I Feel Free and Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen.

Still, I think I'll pass on this one. Cards Against Authors should be quite sufficient to keep me occupied until the summer. And if I get my #### together, I might even chance my arm with the Musicology Anthology challenge in April.

For my friends who are hosting contests that require Word Counts, AND for those who are entering contests and must include a Word Count (WC), this is for you:

Yesterday I noticed the WC located under the *Gear* editor menu at the top of your item didn't display the same number as the WC located at the bottom of your new text window. (see "Word Count Issue"  Open in new Window.).

The SM's reply stated that the "NEW editor is a better authority" for the WC.

Take it for what it's worth. *Wink*

The Christmas rush if over. Ok, I suppose some of you still have gifts to return. But you probably already have some How-To/Advice item collecting dust in your Port. Take a moment to dust it off and send it my way.

See ya!

Hey Folks, we have a new member, starproms Author Icon, who needs some help creating a Static Item by dragging a Word document. I've tried several options and can't duplicate her issue. Original "Trying to post first item but lots of 'line spacing' "  Open in new Window.

Suggestions? It's most likely something simple I've overlooked.

I have always struggled with drag and n drop formatting here.

I had limited success using the 
 tags right in the Word doc tags to preserve some formatting, but in general I copy>paste>check>fix formatting. 

 

It's just been the fastest (and I've also gotten faster at it over time).
      
				
 
Jayne Author Icon - OMG I forgot to use double bracing to get the wml tags to show *Facepalm* 

 

UGH 

 

"Had success using the {pre}{/pre} tags"
      
				
 
I read that. I am not really sure if this would be the case, but I don't like Microsoft's browsers. They've always acted up on me. I use Opera or any other browser instead, especially for WdC. I was hesitant to tell the newbie this but, just maybe, it could apply.

I'm sorry. I double checked and "Venti Blonde Ristretto Iced Mocha" doesn't qualify as coffee. *Laugh*
