Nobody is 'expecting' to be let in - it's a zipper movement. One car from left lane, one from right lane. Why can't people understand this? Other than being stupid, it's also against the highway code which clearly states in the rule 264: It isn't a zipper. It's selfish words removed expecting to be let in at the front. As Moonman says, in less strong terms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Har har har I meant using it to create forms, or tables, or inserting pictures into bodies of text.

Word has a hissy fit if you move anything 1mm to the right. Use pre made templates and just change the column names or whatever, delete what you dont want and swap the pictures. Formatting is mostly done for you then. (Or just copy / paste a section of it, eg Address and standard sections on top of form / invoice ) Then keep it for further use whenever. There is usually something close enough to get on with, no need to keep building the foundations over and over. Picture problems are usually the stack, ie (In line with text , in front etc). hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Moonman says, in less strong terms It isn't - but it should be to reduce the line! Why can't everybody use both lanes? Where is the logic in this?

I’m with you here. Road authorities specifically encourage you to use both lanes. There is literally no reason not to use both lanes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't need it much now, obviously, but when I was working I got pretty good with all that stuff, Word tables particularly. Used to run courses in it, in fact. Mostly forgotten now. But I did like Word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
