Is there some reason not to put it in a table?

I haven't tried that one yet. I've been futzing about with columns, which is annoying.

I'll see if tables work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Tables are way easier, except maybe dealing with where the text breaks.

You can do it a few ways

You can add a table with two colums
You can but in two section breaks and use the column button between the section breaks
You can put in a text box with columns

Has anyone done their own iPod battery replacement? It seems much cheaper to get a kit online than go to the Apple store.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, on an older, plastic-body iPod. I had to pry it apart but the battery kit included a special tool to do this, so it was pretty easy.

Don't know how hard it is to replace the battery on a modern iPod, or other iPod models like the Touch.

The place I bought my kit from (don't remember the name) had how-to videos. I'd recommend finding a video for your iPod model and seeing how hard it would be.

My iPod is 5th generation, just over 5 years old.

This might be the company I ordered from: [link]

If you click on your model there's a video of the installation you can watch.

It's also easy for me to got to the Apple store, but that's the site that got me thinking I might do it myself. Of course, it might just be my first digital download from the library that's causing the battery-dying problem, I'll test tonight.
