Sigh. I tried that and the upload just crapped out, so now I have to wait another 20 minutes before trying again. Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, how I hate thee!
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Compassionately intolerant
I've had similar experiences JZ and the frustration burns.
In desperation, I've cut and pasted the entire text into a new document in hopes of leaving the formatting poltergeists behind. Sometimes it works.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
JZ, I looked at their site, and I'm curious -- you upload the Word doc, and then their site makes it a PDF? Weird.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
LiveLink will do that too.

Last time I tried that, the poltergeists traveled. I haven't even tried it this time; I just assumed it was one of those clever ideas that never really works. I'll have to upgrade that to "sometimes."
P-C, the PDF is a giant composite of all the MS bits that have been uploaded: Word doc, tables, figures as JPEGs or GIFs or whatnot, etc.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Some of the federal govt funding sites do that, too.
Scary train crash!
And I don't get keyboard cat, either...yet. It may grow on me?
I have turned my day around with a manicure and Panera, even though he didn't grill my panini long enough.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Where is Panera?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Where is Panera?
Heaven.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
JZ, if you try the copy and paste into a new document, select everything *except* the last paragraph mark. It's an old Word trick.
