In the Aeroplane Over ... Oregon?

Mar 14, 2008 23:00

Sidenote: When I typed the word “Aeroplane” in Windows Live Writer (which is actually pretty good), it put the red squiggly underline on it. When I right clicked, it suggested that maybe I meant “Aero Plane” - what does that even mean?

I would like to know why, when you clicked a few keys to turn your layout into a magazine layout, the new layout was a two-column format rather than a 3-column format as many magazines are? Would that have meant a few more clicks or are things so formatted that there is no flexibility?

I actually didn't do anything like change the layout to "magazine layout". What was impressive about the demo was that it was really simple individual commands that made it look like it did:

Then you should try four columns. and justify the type. That should look fantastic.

How embarassing!

When I hit post, I should have got an error that said, "unexpected EOP".

Great post...I wish you would have recruited me for the MS Officer User Experience Team...Love the new format of your blogeroo- looks good! At the middle school I work at, the math class was having a competition to see if anyone could remember 100 numbers of Pi in honour of pi day. Funny that you brought it up in your post.

Yay for a good trip! And cool demonstrations.

You know the first time I read this comment, I was like, "Shout Out? What?"

And now I'm all like -- I get it now. Yup. Yup, it was.
