Need a draft thesis by the end of September - Help!
S

hi PamW
have you tried doing this, (I know it may sound a bit silly) but here goes anyway:
if you just put maybe two days per week just for thesis, would that help?

at this moment I feel quite disorganized, I try again and again to get organized, BE organized, and stick to the things I've told myself to do (!!!); so I allocate just the weekends to work on my thesis.

It seems to work so far because then I can block off other things to do (in the weekend) if I have to work on my thesis (even if it's just bits and bobs) :-)

hi sneaks

anyway there is a part in word 2007 that says you can choose landscape for 'selected text' :-)
that will give you only one page landscape

hi ailicec,
if they told you they're offering you, then they're offering you :-)

please dont worry.

friendship advice...
S

hi eska
I can identify with you here; I stopped telling people (and by people I mean my friends) my problems because I found that once they knew about it (and yes, though they do mean well), they gave me unsolicited (and unwelcome!) advice and also (like you) I found myself having to justify my choices to them.

I also found that if say I confided in Friend A in say 1995, ten years later when we meet again, she would still identify me as I was in 1995, and ask me the annoying questions (of problems/issues) which I no longer wish to speak about. And why because I have grown, I have developed and I dont see what I need to justify things to her.

That is why I hardly tell my personal issues to friends anymore.

Quote From phdbug:

Completely stupid of me perhaps, but i am wondering, why, any PhD student, with tons of intellectual stuff to do and arguments to sort would want to go through all of this below with LaTex?


hi bug, DanB, this is SO TRUE

but the odd thing is I found myself looking forward to latex each time I put in a command etc. and seeing the output.
:-) :-) :-)

I have that link too :-)
just sometimes after reading I become more confused and it is easier when someone is teaching :-)

can I ask you then, how do you convert your table to eps?
I found a webpage recommending Excel2latex, but this doesn't work on a mac.

thanks

LaTeX command for landscape

hi ailicec
Yes yes its there :-) I just ran your syntax and it works!!!
thank you so much

could you kindly give me a quick tip how to merge cells in my table?

If one line says 1st treatment, but the next line under "1st treatment" has "pre-" and "post"

something like this:
Subject 1st Treatment 2nd Treatment
Pre Post Pre Post
1 0.51 0.44 0.45 0.46
2 0.43 0.42 0.55 0.47

thanks a lot

LaTeX command for landscape

hi ailicec
Thanks for your help. I don't know if I have the package lscape, how do I check where?
I am using a downloaded template.

also when I read "..make sure your Latex installation has these packages...."
I'm not sure what "latex installation" means.

when I download the package, where do I install it?
thank you

hi! I found the lscape command but how do I use it?
I would like to change the page orientation just for a portion of a text to landscape.
Where do I put the lscape and do I use \?
can somebody please send me an example syntax?

thanks
love satchi
