Bob, I started to do that. and I put a sort of heading:title, autho, scanner or
processor, froofread.I think it's a good idea, but some of the titles are so
long, that the other sections dn't fit under the headings. I can, and started
to, put the heading above the line. We'll see how ir works out, i..e., what the
reaction is, when I post the list tonight

Hi Cindy.
If you could separate the fields (author, title,
scannor, and proofer) with tabs instead of spaces then those who wanted to use
a
spreadsheet could easily convert the file. Also, it would be fairly easy to
sort
the various fields such as title thus making it easier to look for duplicates,
or for people trying to see what they are down for scanning.
I don't know how much trouble that would be but if
it could be done I think it would make for a neat tool.
Just a suggestion.
Bob

list revision & how to search the list
Mayrie and Jamie
I
think what I'm going to do is work on the list, a little at a time,
as
I have time between proofing and appts and other stuff. I'll work in
Word (rtf) and double-space between entries. Book title, author,
scanner and if someone has said they want to proof,
proofer will be on one line.
Maybe after I get rid of duplications
ll will be well and the html I attach to send to Pavi won't be too
large. It was sending both the being-scanned and wish list at
the same time that caused the problem. If it turns out to be too
large
I'll change it to html and save as txt and sent it.Jamie and I tested
it out, and I think hat ill work.
In the meantme, I'll continue
to post updates as they occur.
Someone asked how to search the
list. Just do a Find for the title or author of the book you're
considering scanning and you'll be taken to it on the list and will
also see, at the end of that line, who's scanning it (some people
like
to proof books scanned by particular people--you'll also if somone
has
asked to proofread it

HI Cindy,
The more I think about the size of your list, I
see how much space it would save not having blank lines between
entries. I respectfully withdraw my request for blank lines
between entries. They look nice, but they do take up space, and
are not necessary if every title/author/scanner is on a line together
and only one book per line.

If I can set myself to try to something new
(not saying I will--I may just stick to Word and skipping lines
between entries (at the age of 73, surely you can, Roger. I
took
a look at my document with the htm symbols instead of words,
lines and spaces and it's not pretty. smile

Well, if it comes to
learning how to do something then I suppose I do a better job
of learning it by doing it myself, but that doesn't mean that
a better job is a good job. That's a hell of a position to be
in, knowing all kinds of things, but not being able to do a
damned thing.

I am just the opposite.
Chem and bio labs were great for me. Lecture was a nightmare.
I have to do it to learn it. I can't just listen and learn or
read
and learn (probably why I can't figure out how to
replace the darned thing in Open Office).
