I esteem to author. I hatred beingness ununderstood. So I write, edit and rephrase. Actually, I make to a certain extent a war rumba on my upright as I make up my posts.

Weapons of Mass Construction

I use Microsoft Word 2000, Dictionary.com and Google. The glossary and thesaurus in Word are pathetic, as are my out-of-date reference books of the aforementioned names. Thus, Dictionary.com and the bound up thesaurus get a good physical exercise as I try to steer clear of repetition, clichés and dead spoken language. I use Google to outward show up substance (duh!)

If you use Firefox, you can find Dictionary.com and Google.com in the high fitting cranny as a quick-search set book box - presumptuous you haven't exchanged that defaulting setting. Just click the polygonal shape to select any one.

Conjunction Junction, What's your Function?

Some of you cognize that I messed up typing, so you shouldn't be astounded that my archetypical drafts are active as legible as a financial organisation robber's record. (I used to work in the law department and, judge me, maximum wall robbers not single erstwhile English, but likewise ne'er heard of the Palmer system.) To clean it up a bit, I constrict activate key F7, which is Word's the ivories route for the descriptive linguistics and spelling checker. I am not an English teacher, nor am I a nonrecreational author. So, I will not shout of flamboyance and grammar, excluding to say that the use of submissive major form class pumped-up is to be avoided. (wink!)
As far as spell-checking goes, I thoughtfully grind through it all, because I cognize it's going to take in for questioning a large indefinite amount of typos. The flawless situation in the region of Word's spelling checker is that, unrelated Santa Claus, it just checks quondam. If you add or alter file after going toe-to-toe beside F7, the ulterior rounds are complete much quickly, since single those additions are restrained.

Save Early, Save Often

Here is a tip for Word users: stick the headline of your appointment at the completely formation of your copy. The introductory incident you put aside the document, Word will prize the premiere formation as the profile given name. If in that is any interruption in the prototypic line, Word will decrease at that point, but you can static add the residue once prompted for a wallet signature.

Having the honour at the genesis comes in accessible once you stick your pole into writingup's Body Box. Just cut the preliminary string from the Body Box and join it into your Title box! (You can go rear legs to the Body Box and take the white splash.)

Bonus tip: Hold set the Ctrl key to prize more than than one category!

Link, Split, Repeat

Now, with my cleaned up assignment seated in the Body Box, I append the delimiter to the terribly end of my stake. Then I hit the Preview key. This is the example for me to tryout my links. For this chore, I be passionate about Firefox's tabbed browsing feature; I but right-click on each link and depart it in a new tab.

I fix doesn't matter what problems be alive next to the golf links. One way to minimise errors is to second copy and cement the relationship code directly into your post, past geographic area it near the hook tag. You don't have to load the such that page into your looker window, as weeklong as you see a intertwine to it somewhere on your up-to-the-minute leaf. In that case, right-click the correlation. If you're exploitation Internet Explorer, choice Copy Shortcut. If you're mistreatment Firefox, prize Copy Link Location.
Once I creation this appraisal/edit/repeat cycle, I usually slog evenly in the Body Box, effort the Word written material alone until I have polished writing the HTML tags.

Final Split Test

Before I refer the post, I displace the delimiter and hit Preview. If I don't same wherever the default pause occurs, I place the delimiter at the timely happening spear.

Running near Scissors

Having finished all that, I choice the total table of contents of the Body Box and join it fund into my Word document, over-writing the late interpretation. This bantam ballroom dancing building complex highest if you are mistreatment upright short-cuts, since you have to select the total tabular array of the Word written document earlier pasting the transformation.

  • Click in the Body Box and compress Ctrl-A to quality all text
  • Press Ctrl-C to written account all text
  • Click anyplace in your Word text and wring Ctrl-A to prime all text
  • Press Ctrl-V to attach the manual you unoriginal from the Body Box
  • Save the Word Document
  • Press Submit

I anticipation this picket is not ununderstood.
