Damian SP9QLO <skype:damianprzybyla?add> From: Chip Orange [mailto:lists3717@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2011 3:28 AM To: gw-webeta@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: FW: Blind Authors Project: User Study Follow Up Hi all, it's funny, I just mentioned this project in another thread to do with my Word related app (here on the beta list), and I come home today and find this call for Word volunteers to test out their product so far. As far as I know, this phase of the project seems to be open to anyone who has Word 2007 (unfortunately not me). There was a manual attached, which I don't know if it will go through the list here or not; if not, I can send it to anyone who wants to participate in this study. Chip _____ From: Molly Jow [mailto:jow.molly@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 01, 2011 3:14 PM To: acorange@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Blind Authors Project: User Study Follow Up Dear Chip, First of all, thank you for taking the time to help us with our project. We greatly appreciate your assistance and feedback. We are conducting a user study of the new technology that we've developed to check document formatting. If you're willing to test it out, we'd love to get your feedback. Here are the instructions to complete the user study for the Microsoft Office Word 2007 Formatting Checker Add-in. Please complete this user study by August 3rd, 2011 and enter your email in the survey for a chance to win a $50 Amazon.com gift card. Or complete it by August 12, 2011 and enter your email in the survey for a chance to win a $25 Amazon gift card. Note: To be able to use the Add-in you must have one of the Windows operating systems (XP, Vista or 7) and, most importantly, the Microsoft Office 2007 system. 1. Begin by reading the Manual (available in 3 formats: .docx, .doc and .pdf) 2. Install the Formatting Checker Add-in by following the instructions in the Manual. Note: After you install the Add-in, you need to close the Manual and open it again in order for the Add-in to appear as one of the ribbon tabs. 3. Familiarize yourself with the Add-in by using it to inspect one of your word processed documents. 4. Inspect and correct the document called: "Formatting Checker User Study Document" (available in 2 formats: .docx and .doc) 5. Save the document after you correct and send it to: <mailto:lmmoralesvill@xxxxxxxxx> lmmoralesvill@xxxxxxxxx 6.

It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti -- Chela Robles E-Mail/GoogleTalk/AIM/Twitter/MySpace/LinkedIn: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx WindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx E-Buddy ID: cdrobles693 Skype Name: jazzytrumpet Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/chela.robles I volunteer for a non-profit organization called Bookshare, to learn more and to join us, visit: http://www.bookshare.org Visit my blog piece from Learning Ally and after reading and listening to the song selection, fill out the form which requires no CAPCHAS unless you're a robot at: http://www.learningally.org/Blog/Access-and-Achievement/144/vobId__2525/ Cell: 19252505955 -- To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
