Marketing advice
///////////////////////////////
Prepare (and send) press releases to all media (newspaper, radio, TV, etc.) within the area as you are completing work on the manuscript, again when they are being published, and after to cover such events as signing parties, etc.
///////////////////////////////
Genealogy ideas
///////////////////////////////
If you are stumped - another lost ancestor - renew your efforts to find further documentation on the family members you have verified. One never knows when a notation in records for children, brothers, etc. will give your the lead you need to locate that lost link.

Have a tip?
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
///////////////////////////////
Computer aid!?!
Software:
///////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////
Computer aid - Microsoft Word
Make your program stop underlining/linking web information.
///////////////////////////////
Ever wish your computer wouldn't try to help you so much? Get tired of typing an email or web page address out only to have it underline and turn blue or a strange color? Here's what to do!
A quick fix is once the information that has been typed has gone blue, just hit the delete button once, it will "un-blue/link" without deleting text.
If you wish it wouldn't happen at all, here is what you do:
From pull down menus on top, select format
From menu select auto format
From auto format, choose options button
From options box choose "auto format as you type" tab
Under "replace as you
type" (middle section) click the bottom box -
deselecting "internet and network paths with hyperlinks"
Choose OK, then OK
This information is provided on MS Word 2000, if your version differs, instructions may be a bit different, but you should be able to get it figured out with the instructions above.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Note: All references to
"click" are using the left mouse button unless otherwise noted.
Have a question or tip? We may be stumped, but either way you'll get a personal reply.
