Comment by Caro Nally on July 25, 2009 at 7:27pm: Does anyone have any ideas on how to get copies of rare out of print books? I've searched through those used book stores online and they came up empty handed. Here's what I'm looking for:
Reamstown 240
The Heilman Family Genealogy

Thanks for any suggestions!

Comment by Trudy Doolittle on July 25, 2009 at 7:13pm: Julie, XP is an operating system. I think what Anita is really referring to is MS WORD which is common software used for Word Processing. And I agree with Anita, rather than try to get the final presentation software right, use Word to get all the to complete your writing. A Word document be converted into most any other presenation software.

Comment by Julie Garner Clarke on July 24, 2009 at 5:23am: Thanks Anita - I have 2 different Word versions so I'll try the XP.

Why don't you start a discussion on questions?

Sounds like an interesting idea. What better way to learn something in depth than having to produce results for someone else. Can't put it off that way. Good Luck.

I added a link to that book. Amazon gives you a preview of the first three chapters. Thanks again for the tip! Now everyone can preview it!

Comment by Caro Nally on July 23, 2009 at 5:41pm: Hey Poppy

That's for you to post on to your personal website or your myspace or your facebook or your twitter, just to let people there know that you are on here. That's all.

Comment by Poppy Gladstone on July 23, 2009 at 5:37pm: This question does not apply to "writing," but I don't see a section for general-type questions and I am still trying to figure out how this all works. What is that Badge-thing for on the right of the screen?

Comment by Caro Nally on July 23, 2009 at 5:09pm: That is a fabulous suggestion. Thank you so much! I will definitely do that. I probably won't buy it any time soon as we are trying to move within the next month and our daughter's first birthday party is in October, but I don't plan to be ready to publish for quite some time anyway, although I would like to have something to show at her party since a lot of family is supposed to be there. *shrug* oh well .. that's why we have laptops lol

Thanks again for the suggestion. I will definitely take a look at it and probably buy it in a few months .. or maybe in a year or two .. whenever I feel I'm ready to publish.
