Could you do a really dodgy fix and just put in footnotes that aren't technically footnotes but just small writing - if you get what I mean?

Anyone else sick to death of Word?
Avatar for sneaks

I don't mind word most of the time, but then sometimes, like with table cell height it just goes crazy! and it ends up being something really unintuitive like the spacing of text throwing it all out, rather than anything on the table commands grrr!


However, the compatibility issues would scare me too much to use another programme, plus the ease of use with endnote.

Music to study by?

Quote From Ev:

Pink Floyd works for me!! Not too many lyrics so not too distracting :-)


My older brother likes them which automatically means I can't. I was listening to Bach and Vivaldi but I play the cello, and it just inspired me to spend three hours on that rather than do any work! :-s

I've suddenly realised that I may be more productive if I have a bit of background noise. Any ideas for music that won't give me a headache or allow me to sing along in hideous kareoke stylee.

Why do supervisors supervise?
Avatar for sneaks

probaby a good way of getting stuff for the RAE or whatever they are calling it now. By the time you have something ready for publication, you will leave which means your supervisor can put it against their name for a publication within the department - if they do the same with people who are more likely to stay, they can't share the publication for the RAE - its either one or the others if they are in the same department.

John was pleased it was the omni-bus, as if it WAS the school bus it was late - unsurprising considering it was American, they are always late for things!

Ok, not going to use dreamweaver. I don't get the word press thing though - can i design it all before anyone else can see it or is it always online?

Hi ev, I for some reason must be the only person that doesn't have a clue what your post was about - I thought it was about Wal's four *s making your inadequate! Very confused.

Anyway, if you want to feel much more in control, pop over to my accountability thread, where I continually fail to do any work or meet any deadlines - then you will feel highly superior!

BEST POST DOC WEBSITES for researchers
Avatar for sneaks

this forum is on the same website as 'find a postdoc' which is a search engine for post doc jobs. We have been told off before for mentioning competitors on here like the jobs dot ac dot uk one.

Its cos they want us all to themselves, so they will probably delete your lovely message when they roll out of bed tomorrow morning. While they are at it, maybe they could add my last star hmmm.

How do you give stars?

Avatar for sneaks

I reckon the mods might close this - as this website has a 'find a postdoc' thing and they don't like you mentioning competitors

Thanks for the advice - I am slowly getting to grips with nvu thingy - but seems very bare, I would like a template. The problem is that my dad is a craftsman and therefore doesn't want a 'racy' look - more sophisticated and simple.
