Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hah, complaining about it made it work.

Why can't you keep using what you have?

I can until our publications department upgrades-- I have to use either what they are using (Adobe Indesign) or Publisher in order to use the templates. I was able to convince the IT department to give me Indesign because it was less than $200 and I have been using it for 5 years.

I am assuming that you can't use templates from the cloud on 5 year old Indesign.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And you can't "save as" to an older version?

You can't in InDesign 5, which is what I have now. I have no idea what they will do with the cloud thing

Well, wouldn't you be in trouble no matter what they upgraded to, subscription or purchase? I mean, if you're not getting the license of the new version, you're SOL somehow.

They will upgrade me with just InDesign, because it is inexpensive (I don't have the whole suite). But I can't imagine they would pay $29 or $39 a month for me to make posters when the other people at my level use word and publisher

Oh, now I understand. I thought you were getting old version castoffs. But you don't have to pay for the whole suite--you can still pay for just one tool. I think the prices flatten out (why bother get Elements if Photoshop rental costs the same?) so it might be pricier than before, but still.

Oh- that is the part I missed- I thought it was a flat fee for all programs.

I love the people who make Start8. It's the first thing I installed on my new Alienware work computer.

How can I make fields mandatory in Excel 2007? I knew how to do it in 2003, but now I can't find that option. I feel like it should be under Data Validation...
