A Step in the Write Direction
June 3, 2013
Update: Sorry this is late
today. Helped get my sister off to
her cottage in Michigan for the summer, and our youngest daughter will be leaving for a 3-week
visit with our other daughter and family in Oklahoma tomorrow. They’ll both (my
sister and daughter) be in Oklahoma City around the same time, and there is a
40% chance of more tornadoes there,
so we’re praying for safety….Praise that our daughter’s family stayed safe last
week. Tornado went 26 feet over their house (they sent pictures)….Praise also
that my husband’s MRSA is all
cleared up….Got a new computer last
week with Word 2007. I had 2003, so am still negotiating the new tool bar…Also
got a new phone that takes pix,
texts, etc., but don’t have it activated yet….My daughter took me through the low-carb book she has (she’s diabetic).
It’s pretty easy: 2½ lbs. down this week, about 13 to go….Accepted the
invitation to teach at the CLASS
conference in Albuquerque October 15-17. Will teach “Writing and Selling
Your Poetry” and “Where to Get Ideas.” If they have space, will also teach “10
Hints on Selling Your First Book.” (Any of you live in that area and know any
inexpensive, good motels?)
Thought for
the Day: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage
to continue that counts” (Winston Churchill).
Laugh for the
Day: A man received a call that his mother-in-law had passed away while
visiting the Holy Land. “We can bury her here for $200,” the caller said, “or we
can ship her home for $3,000.” “Ship her home,” the son-in-law replied. “Are you
sure?” the caller said. “You want to spend $3,000?” “Yes,” the son-in-law
insisted. “One person you buried there arose after three days, and I don’t want
that to happen to my mother-in-law.”
Question:
How do you format a Table of Contents with the leader dots?
The following information (for Word 2007) is from
Elizabeth Boston’s “Ask the Computer Lady,” a very helpful weekly newsletter.
You can subscribe by going to: http://askTCL.com .
“Go through your document and find each chapter heading
and any sub-headings that you want to be included in your table of contents.
Highlight each heading, and click on the “Heading 1” style in the ribbon. If you
are going to have sub-headings in each chapter, use “Heading 2” for those
sections. If you don’t like the default settings for Heading 1 and Heading 2,
just right click on the icon for each heading, and click “Modify…” to change the
style.
“Once you have applied that formatting to each heading,
click in the front of your document where you want the Table of Contents to be
located, click on the “References” tab in the ribbon, then click on the “Table
of Contents” icon in the ribbon. Select the style of TOC that you want, and
click on it. Word will automatically build your Table of Contents. As you
continue to work on your document, you can update the TOC by simply clicking on
the “Update Table” icon.”
