If you’re referring to the spelling, it should be:

Father’s Day
Mother’s Day
Valentine’s Day

Or perhaps

Fathers' Day
Mothers' Day
St Valentines's Day

bimonthly

Every two months. I hate ambiguity too!

Hi John,

I have only used PagePlus once to produce a true book. I did not use BookPlus, just did it as a single publication, but the cover was separate. It's Toubab: An American Doctor in West Africa Paperback – January 1, 2008
by D.O. David Z. Levine (Author). Available from Amazon. All profits for David's charity organization in West Africa. I did the second edition for him.

I mostly used PagePlus for a bimonthly magazine of 32pp.

Your books are amazing! You are very talented!

I'm not sure if I could have solved the problem when I was 10. It's pretty basic algebra, but I don't think I got on to algebra in junior school, and had only just got started on it in Grammar school at 10.

2/3 * x - 12 = 1/2 * x
therefore (2/3 - 1/2)x = 12
hence 1/6 * x = 12
so 1/3 * x = 24 (given to brother)

The minimum row height depends on the size of the font used, so if you used the same size of font in the second table, the row heights will also increase the same as in your first table. You can set row heights under Table/Set Row Height, but you cannot make it less that the minimum determined by the font size you use.

I too wonder why you need two separate tables. Using a single table would ensure correct alignment.

Can you get someone who already has a CD/DVD player to copy the disc to a thumb drive? You can then install from that.

Take a look at Help. Under Lines and Shapes there is a lot of information about drawing and editing lines.

Perhaps you should redraw the main outline as individual lines rather than a single line with bends.

The background grid might be better placed on a Master Page, and grouped - or use an empty  table or a quick Grid.

I suspect it is a scam. Is it really from McAfee? What does View Source reveal?

Avast, Adaware and others offer good free antivirus.

As Alfred has said, there is no attachment. Please try again.

Meanwhile, what does the hintline (across the bottom of the screen) say, when your map is selected?

That rather depends on how you have drawn it - as a single item (closed curve or just a single line) or separate items grouped together.

If the latter, just ungroup them, either by clicking the jigsaw button at bottom right of the selection, or from the Arrange menu. Alternatively, you can select individual items within the group from the Layers tab.

If it's a closed curve (the hintline will tell you) there are several tools for manipulating it on the context toolbar (which appears when the object is selected).

If this doesn't help, perhaps you could attach your map here.

That's what I've found, Tom. I can't even locate the relevant .ics file. Perhaps that could be edited.

Is there any way to edit these ready-installed event files?

It’s conventional for midnight to be referenced as 12:00 am

But would it not be more logical for 12:00 am to immediately follow 11:59 am, rather than 11:59 pm?

Looking at my local weather forecast, I see this warning pop-up.

Winter Storm - Watch
From 12/23/2022 12:00:00 AM to 12/24/2022 3:00:00 AM

Although 12 o'clock noon is of course neither before noon (AM), nor after noon (PM), and 12 o'clock midnight is both before noon and after after noon by exactly 12 hours in both cases, I assume the 12:00:00 AM referred to means Midnight.

I have worked out that 12/23/2022, and 12/24/2022 is really 23/12/2022 and 24/12/2022, so now I'm just trying to work out whether midnight on 12/23/2022 is at the start of the day, or 24 hours later, at the end of the day. Does this alert last for 27 hours or just 3 hours?

I do wish people would avoid such ambiguity. It would be easy enough to say that the alert was from 00:00:01 AM on 12/23/2022, removing all doubt.

Great video of Samoa, eric. Thanks.

Snooker is a great game, although actual snookering is a little aggressive. Snoozing is not unpleasant. Snorkelling is indulged in happily by many in tropical waters.

And what about snogging?

Just go to profile settings and set the time to actual in your area

Yes, that seems to work. Thanks.

We have snow here in western Washington State. Very rare this early. Only about an inch right here, but rain yesterday gave black ice on the roads as it froze after sunset. One car crashed off the local highway down into a small valley as a result.

Generally the climate hereabouts is similar to that of England. 37F to 46F range for this month (3C to 8C).

A card from, say, Chicago. The message: The Elevated Railway was destroyed in a series of fires.....

You don't need to that far away. What about Liverpool?

The available English Cheddars don't taste the same as the New Zealand Cheddars

Perhaps you should try regular American Cheddar. It don't taste. Although if you go for Extra Sharp it is approaching average English Cheddar.

I vote British Isles cheeses as best in the world. I've never felt the need of, or taste for, "foreign" cheese. Stilton, Farmhouse Cheddar, Caerphilly, Derbyshire etc. What more could anyone want?

Daylight Saving Time does not coincide with BST, and, of course, down-under has the equivalent during our winter. Perhaps then it would be better all round if that box remained unchecked.

Edit: However, I note that the forum is still timing my messages one hour later than the actual time of posting.
