'Potential'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Well, I'm trying to repro the look of the stuff that is coming from (and staying in) Word. That means preserving the turn lines as they would look in an 8.5 x 11 document. I can mock that up manually, but it'll be a pain in the butt.
I didn't realize that I could adjust the DPI in Corel. I knew about the magnify-then-capture trick, but had only been going up to like 150%. I'll try both of those.
Can you just use the word document and use the cross through characteristic in the font?
No. (1) I need the text in black and the crossout in blue; and (2) most of the crossouts get a little "insert something here" caret below the line and an inserted word/phrase above. Word can't handle that.
I'm resigned to doing the art files; and if Jon's suggestions work, they'll actually look OK.
10 apps every new Mac owner should download.
I have 6. I'm looking curiously at NVU and Quicksilver now.
Quicksilver very seriously rocks, in a change the whole way you work way.
NVU is a web editor much like any other (only, you know, free) -- I use it on the linux box, but I have no need on the Mac since I have dreamweaver.
Speaking of Mac apps, there's this NY Times article about 'thinking tools'--I've never used one on any platform. Is anyone familiar with these? I'm very curious about how they may work in the real world.
Man, that's an irritating article. I agree that if writing didn't break us, this won't either.

I've been curious about Quicksilver, but without using it, it's hard to really understand what it does.
NVU looks nice -- from the screenshots, it's much more full-featured than Tacos.
I was all excited because I noticed that Intellisync for Yahoo was back -- I used to use it so I'd magically have my contacts and calendar on the web, on the PDA, and on my computer.
I installed it, synched with my Yahoo account, and then promptly couldn't synch with the computer anymore. Bastards. It used to be a threeway.
Uninstalling Intellisync wasn't enough, either. I ended up uninstalling the PalmOne software and reinstalling the latest version. Now I can synch again, but I'm skeered of Intellisync and their troublesome conduits.
Anyone else tried this?
eta: BITCHES! Suddenly it doesn't look like Versamail will synch with Eudora anymore. Fuck.
eta^2: I like the old version better. This is twisty. And it's separated my mail.
