Freelance editors, does your Word document feel like an uncontrollable mess of fonts, spacing, and styles? You're not alone! But there's an easy fix. Join my FREE webinar on styles in MS Word on 24 Mar, or watch the replay: bit.ly/Wordboost
Wonderful, and well deserved!
I was frustrated by the little arrow that appears in the margin when you've used styles for headings in MS Word, but when I needed to remove lots of different parts of a document, the arrow turned out to be really useful!

Thanks for sharing this Katharine
Sounds lovely! I've just finished a two-tone purple brioche scarf for a friend's 50th, it was tricky because the colours were quite close (I usually have more contrast).
That's beautiful!
On my way to Chelmsford to meet up with the Essex #eddibuddies from #CIEP!
Ooh, that sounds interesting, I love jigsaws!
I'm also trying Finch, only started last week so not sure about it yet
Reading it with my adult daughter, we both read one chapter per week (I'm bad at finding time to read nonfiction)

Me too, my low-intensity tasks for today were running PerfectIt and putting the refs into Endnote. I'll start the real editing work tomorrow:-)
It was great fun meeting new people, getting some work done, fixing my YouTube channel (thanks to a fellow participant), hearing about consist branding across SM and eating cake!
Looking forward to coworking with fellow freelancers tomorrow in SE London!
At primary school, my brother and I were hit on the head with a book by the Headmistress (walking behind us) to tell us to stop singing because we were out of tune!
Congratulations Rick
Delighted to find it's available as an audiobook on Kobo, looking forward to listening to it
As an editor I thought indexing would be pretty straightforward. Then I did a half-day intro course and found that (a) it's complex and (b) I'm terrible at it!
I loved List of suspicious things, found Yeĺowface entertaining but struggled with All the colours
Come to Bellingen Shire, an enormous number of artists in a small population (must be something in the water)!
I'd love to be added, thanks

A new word to add to my list! Takk
Hi, I'm doing the same via Pimsleur
Jeg forstar litt norsk!
My escape is listening to audiobooks of the Charles Paris detective series (from the BBC – Bill Nighy plays the lead). They always make me laugh
My favourite is Octordle (from Britannica) – there are 2 versions every day!

After 15 or so years, our Saturday afternoon cryptic crossword group has imploded. Now I find myself feeling out of kilter for the whole day!
(I spent this Sat afternoon doing some editing, it was a sad substitute for Crypo ...)
That's a good tip. I recently got in a complete muddle by having the old doc open while I was working on three parts of the new doc (using split screen and New window) – I think I overreached!

Right, I can appreciate that.
I'm on Word 365 and the comment box seems to appear almost instantaneously (which doesn't help your situation of course!)
Hi Iva,
I don't know if it would help with your issue but I've just started using a keyboard shortcut for adding a comment (CTRL + ALT + M on the PC – I think it's CMD + ENTER on the Mac).
