Search options (Page 24 of 41)

I assume you use Find and Replace (Ctrl-H) to locate all those little bugs. You can search for .[space]^p and locate a single space behind a period and before a hard Return.

To do that, for the Find What box, click the "More" button at the bottom. When it opens up, click the "Special" button. You will find all sorts of special characters, para marks, and doo-dads to search for. You can add these at any point in actual text for the box.

You can do the same for the Replace With box.

It makes finding and editing much, much easier. Once you get to know the special characters, you don't need the extra mouse movements as you can remember most of them. ^p is just one of them (An end-of-sentence Enter key).

Wonderful, Karen. I'll be looking forward to it.

I thought it might be something like that. It happens occasionally.

~Tom

LOL. Whoops, my bad. **adjusts trifocals**

"Well," Dorothy sighed to herself. "At least Tinman and Lion got their wish."

Dang type. That should have been "97 OF 104". Basically, It's written. I'm just polishing it up a bit.

I have GOT to get this wrist fixed. Typing with one hand is not natural.

I checked out Wild Rose Press also, Karin. There doesn't appear to be any men working for/associated with them but I would feel comfortable submitting a novel. They do indeed have a good reputation in the industry.

Oh, I'm well aware of the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. A lot of people don't realize that even something as big as Facebook has both a HTTP and an HTTPS connection available. Depending on what URL you use to access the site (this and most others), you get either a non-secure or a crypto-covered connection.

Sol's answer is probably the right one. It takes a while for a given URL to be propagated throughout the DNS servers. Until it is fully disseminated, you get security glitches if your browser is looking for a HTTPS and all it can find is HTTP.

Has this project moved along any further, Darla? Just wondering.

~Tom

Check you computer time. Sometimes, when it cannot get the correct time from the Internet, it will make security certificates seem to be expired. Just a shot in the dark, though.

~Tom

Treat it like a government project, Max. You know, get nine women pregnant and have a baby in a month.

I am convinced that Hollywood has used up all the original plots, which is why they keep remaking (usually to the film's detriment) classic films. Only a couple of them (Szbrina comes to mind) have made the grade. Otherwise the rest of the remakes are terrible. I don't plan on watching the remake of Ben Hur. The worst failure, in my opinion, was Rollerball. Nothing beats James Caan.
