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

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).
