Lots of sounds advice here... good luck!!

Congrats on submitting Delta! Good luck with viva and prep(up)

Agreed with Rina, second option as per my sups feedback!!

Afternoon everyone!

I'm not sure if anyone signed up to that 'write your thesis in 3 months'? that Eska mentioned some time ago? After watching his webinar yesterday, I decided to switch my internet off for the morning. What a difference! No email, no fb, no forum but lots of things done! Ok, I miss the 'socialising' aspect but I've been able to do loads more! I'm very impressed and saddened by the realisation of how long I spent on the net when I should be working...

Moving on... I'm having lunch and then continue with my formatting, etc.

Hope you all have a productive day!

mine is just over 200- but guidelines state no more than 250...

No probs! I wouldn't want you to hand in your work only to be told that all your refs are wrong:-( but sounds like you're on the ball;-)

Hi Naturalme,

I couldn't help but giggle to myself as I had a similar experience the other day where I started the thread on the issue of pagination and soon after I found the answer. The joys of MS2010!

It happens to all of us! Well done you for finding the solution so quick though (up)

Hi Swetchha,

(Just to put a spanner in the works, sorry!)

Try this website: http://www.usq.edu.au/library/help/referencing/apa#journals

They seem pretty good at all sorts of APA referencing. If you look down on 'no author', they have the following example:


'When a citing a source in text that has no identified author, use a short title and year for the parenthetical citation.

The in text citation for the online source "New drug appears to sharply cut risk of death from heart failure" would be ("New Drug," 2001).

Use double quotation marks for article titles, chapter titles or web page titles. Italicize (without quotation marks) book titles.

(Psychological effects, 1999)

For works designated as "Anonymous", cite in text as Anonymous followed by a comma and the date.

(Anonymous, 2007)'

By the way, they also said that APA is now on their 6th edition. Did you say endnote is using the 5th? Or am I getting confused?

Hello everyone!

I've been really poorly so work had to come to a halt (I tried to do it in bed but it just wasn't working). That's the price I pay for overdoing it. I'm a bit better now so back at the computer but I'll probably spend less hours glued to it.

@Ady - thanks for the advice on the proofreading, referencing etc. I keep switching between one to another as I go along, but you're right, if I do one at a time then I'm more likely to get a uniform thesis.

@Sneaks - You can sooo do it! Keep up with the good work!

@Emmaki - well done for the great idea!

Goals for the day:
1) sort out my goals for the day
2) check emails
3) email sups

Have a good day everyone!

Congratulations! Thanks for the advice as well.

Good morning!

Goals for the day:
1) Finish editing from yesterday
2) Do some proofreading
3) Referencing
4) Formatting

I've been doing the past three randomly (pending on what I fancy reading) but maybe I should have a system in place. Any ideas welcome (if anyone is around...)

Sorry, Ady. I have an older version on my laptop so I'll check if there's anything similar later on.

Hi Ady, I just had a look at the replies. I'd tried to add the text box but couldn't get it to work for some reason!

My way is much simpler but this may only work with ms2010...

Go to insert, page number, page margins, pick 'border, left' under 'plain number'. This will insert your page number where it should be but the rotation will be following the text rather than the page if that makes sense. But if you then rotate the text, you're sorted!

Hope this helps!

Nevermind me, I found a really simple way!

Can anyone please tell me how to add portrait page numbers on landscape pages? I've tried a few things I've found through google but I can't seem to do it! Mine is ms2010 if that makes any difference.

Thanks.
