... Can you add letters and have different lengths (as in the ones above)? You can, I think, disambiguate by adding letters at the end only for new files....
... Hm, I'll have to think about that one and maybe make up a few file names and see how it would work. That's a possibility. ... I, too, thought at first that...
Thanks, but the first approach doesn't solve the problem, because the sort in the index will still come up different from what's in the drawer. And the client...
... No, I meant to suggest try to find a sorting algorithm for your index that maintains the word-by-word nature of the client's filing. Perhaps by using a...
OK, I think I get what you're saying. I'm going to give this to my 14-year-old daughter to work on. I need a fresh pair of eyes and an unbiased young mind, to...
... Gack! Are they still using that, and do they still call it new math, or is it just math? She's a freshman, and I don't know if they're doing any set theory...
I am having trouble with my computers sleep function, and hope someone can help. I am trying to mark up pages, but the buzz that my computer is putting out is...
Hi Bobbi, I had the same problem a long time ago. It turned out to be my DYMO LabelWriter 330. I have no idea of why, but if I turned that label printer off,...
Assuming you are using Windows XP with the Windows XP interface, go to Start/Control Panel/Performance and Maintenance, and click on Power Options. I would...
Do any of you still receive manuscripts via paper? Or are all your manuscripts sent electronic? Or does it depend on what you ask for? Jeannine [Non-text...
I get all different things: hard copy page proof, PDF files, hard copy proof with a CD that also has the proof on it, or an ftp site to go to so I can ...
What I receive depends on clients. Just 2 self-publishers send only pdfs. Others send paper, with some also sending pdfs or pdfs of changed pages. I do ask...
I always ask for page proofs on paper, because I like to work from hard copy. Some of my clients also send a pdf file that I can refer to if I need it. Cheers,...
I still get paper, mostly, but in the past year or so the number of PDFs has risen considerably. I've also been asked to download PDFs from a website. One book...
The reason I'm asking is someone suggested getting a scanner that you can scan the document into and it will output to PDF. I really like using Abode Acrobat....
Boy, have I found out the hard way of receiving separate PDF chapters and additional documents. I've had to go through a lot learning how to merge, and try...
I recieve all of mine via paper - I am a hands on person, and much prefer having the hard copy to do my mark ups on. Bobbi ... From: "Jeannine McAllister"...
... I think I've only gotten one on paper, and that was years ago. I did have a one new client who, when we were discussing such details, sounded very relieved...
I wouldn't get a scanner. I do ask for searchable PDFs. I am happy to get hard copy in addition, but I am willing to print at no extra charge in return for...

Hey all, thanks to all who gave me their opinions on question I had about the index as an appendix. I went with Seth's reasonings, and decided to say nothing...
Thanks to all who've worked on this problem with me. After showing it to y'all and a bunch of other people I know, including some librarians, I decided in the...
On the off chance that any of you are still in the exploratory stage with your indexing and live in Wisconsin, I'm going to be teaching an all-day workshop...
I'm in the market for a compact printer to use with my laptop while on the road. It wouldn't be my primary printer. I've found a good deal for a Lexmark Z615...
