Pages worked–better than Word!


I was able to get lots done on my iPad while I was away, because Pages worked well for me. I’ve again been swamped with family stuff since getting back from my trip, and I’m going away on Wednesday for a week, but I plan to take the iPad again, and hopefully find a few moments to open it up while I’m away.

Book Review: The Crystal Key by Douglas Smith


Urban Fantasy 5/5

Seventeen-year-old Will Dreycott, a superhero and multi-millionaire publisher, and his girlfriend, Case, are drawn into an underground world as they hunt for the clues to what happened to their parents. This award-winning book is a fast, fun, pulpy adventure with all the magic and mystery and supervillains you could want.

A colleague solved my problem!


Thanks to my writers’ group, I now have a work-around for my non-functional Word program on my iPad: Pages. I haven’t liked Pages in the past, but maybe they’ve upgraded it, because I was able to import my work seamlessly and the program seems functional. I hope this works!

FORCED! to subscribe to Word! Grrrr!


I’m going on a 10-day helicopter-supported hike next week so I put my files onto my iPad so I can work away if there is time. Now, it turns out I HAVE to have a subscription to Word or my Word on the iPad is read-only. Sigh. I have tried to avoid subscriptions!!!!! I guess I’ll have to subscribe for a month, to cover this 10-day period, then cancel the subscription–if (of course) I can figure out how to unsubscribe. They’ll make it purposely difficult, I’m sure. Luckily, the Word on my regular computer (this one) is one I purchased and don’t need a subscription.
