dragonlady7I spellchecked my entire document. What fun.
Few spelling errors, many typos.
Have become spoiled by Word's "auto correct". I ought to turn it off to preserve my good typing habits. But, haven't.
After 75 pages, suddenly it has started automatically inserting a tab every time I put in a carriage return. This is annoying because I have already become accustomed to inserting the tab myself. So I now have to hit return, tab, and backspace to begin a new paragraph, unless I want all double-indented. Stupid helpfulness. But that sort of thing is at a minimum in this program, at least, and if it autocorrects something you didn't want autocorrected, you can ctrl+z it right back as it was. This hasn't always been possible in Word.
So there's my little Micro$oft for Mac Isn't Bad peptalk. (Apparently Word for Mac is way better than even the brand new Word for Windows. Snigger. Suckas!) [And do remember: Bill Gates is a major investor in Apple.]
It's going much faster with the plot revisions.
But 8.5k of it is going to be gone the moment I begin editing. And that's a bummer.
