Riding the crest of a #wave?

We are:

..and wondering if the wave has broken and run up onto the beach.

This blog has moved..

Some evil has happened!
Blogger have this explanation for their, and our, problem:
blogger-ftp.blogspot.com/2010/02/whos-affected.html

So this blog has moved to the address:
winhelp3.blogspot.com

Our current tactic is to:
1. post to the blog address and
2. copy the HTML code to the address:
winhelp.com.au
3. work out what fails and
4. edit the failing bits of the HTML.

Not an ideal solution but not as bad as it sounds..

Example of the use of maps

An 85 or 90 k cycle ride from Sydney to Wollongong (1 Nov 09). Click on the route to see notes on that part of the ride.

Q Macro

Let's face it you can write a lot of Word macros and then forget where you put them, what you called them and too often they are not quite right the next time you want to do something.
So write the macro each time. The Q macro typically finds and corrects each instance.

Q Macro logic
The macro always follows the same logic.
Use a keyboard shortcut to run a macro to perform a task (on selected text)
The macro includes a move to a next instance using "find"
It also makes whatever movements are necessary to select the exact text to perform the task (above)
To write the macro
Select the text
Tool > Macro > Record New Macro
Macro name is always the same* and keyboard shortcut is always the same Alt+Q
Perform the task (use the keyboard in preference to the mouse)
Ctrl+F to open the Find dialog
Enter the text to find
Select the exact text to perform the task (use the keyboard)
End Macro
To run the macro
Select the text and press Alt+Q to perform the task. The task will be performed and another instance will be found and selected.
If you do not want to perform the task on the selected text then press the MSWord search buttons on the scroll bar (or Ctrl+Page down) to find the next instance.
Then select the text needed for the start of the macro.

Always the Same
Always make the macro name the same - you can find it easily if I need to edit it. Alt+F8 > Q
Overwrite any old instances because each macro is in some way different from the previous macro.
Always make the keyboard shortcut the same - Alt+Q is a very easy key combination with the left hand.

Note: Some of the above information is specific to MSWord 2000
