I think IBM 1620, on which I also wrote FORTRAN programs in the early 60’s as part of a university course.

However, if OP makes use of Styles (especially Heading1-n) and the Navigation Pane in setting up the document, he can easily build an outline and automatically create TOC entries. Word also has functions to create indexes (see References tab), cross references and many other things. Using styles also means it is no longer necessary to manually format everything.

The unfortunate thing about Word, over time (I first used it in the late 1980s), is the initial instruction stresses WYSWIG. Manual formatting is fine for a 2-page letter or memo, but a large document is better served with “power tools”. But it’s a good idea to know what they are and how to use them.

Yes, see my answer to your other post here.

Chuck,

The short answer is yes. First understand that Word is an enormous toolbox, which, if you know what tool you need and how to use it, you can probably accomplish whatever you want.

Before plunging into your project, I would strongly recommend some reading to help you identify the contents of that toolbox and how to make the best use of it. The reference that I would recommend is Dan Gookin’s “Microsoft 365 Word For Professionals For Dummies”.

This book covers the tools in Word to efficiently set up, format and organize a large and possibly complex document if that is your plan. It includes a 5-chapter section entitled “Word for Writers”.

Hope this helped.

I have been seeing similar Emails from them after downloading some of their free tools (Shutup10 and AppBuster).  I also noted that their perpetual license pricing compares favorably with Macrium Reflect.  I am currently using MR Free with Win10 22H2 but wondering about its future viability with Win 11 24H2 and beyond.

Is anyone here on AskWoody actually using O&O DiskImage Pro and willing to share their experience?

TIA.  Regards, Phil

There’s  typo error in the above quote. It should read release=23H2.

Seems that your needs could be met with either Viber or Whatsapp (if you’re happy with using a Meta product).

Regards, Phil

I can recommend Viber. I have had it on my Android phones since 2015, when I installed it and purchased a minimum Viber Out world credit ($4.99) in preparation for a trip from Canada to France. There, I used it to call ground transport from airport to hotel before acquiring a local SIM card to use during our stay. Viber Out gives you outbound PSTN calling.

Current use is Viber-to-Viber calls with my daughter in Mexico, which gives better call quality than regular cellular service.

How attentively did you read the release notes? Looks like FF is imitating M$ ‘dribbles’.

How about Settings -> System -> About.

If you go to the Crucial.com website, you can scan your PC to identify your current disk drive(s) and RAM and the available possible replacements that they offer.

Lest we forget that MS wants OneDrive to be the universal backup solution.

Hi CAS,

Doug,

If you haven’t removed the MS Photos app from your Windows setup, its Edit function has a Background manipulation option that works pretty well. I’m on Win 10 22H2 with the Photos app at version  2024.11100.16009.0 (last updated 2024-10-23). It also can call on Microsoft Designer, which also can manipulate backgrounds, but for my simple test case, not as well as the Edit option. I suggest you give it a try.

HTH. Regards, Phil

Hi Chuck,

This is what I see on right-clicking the OneNote  icon on my Win 10Pro 22H2 system with MS365 Family.

On my system, I have set the default to Open OneNote. If I recall correctly, when I first used OneNote around 2007, the original default was New quick note.

HTH, Regards, Phil
