Maybe you can do the propsal crap in Excel, and type the essays in Word.

Is this accounting stuff? I remember doing something like this at my internship

Because proposal template they sent to us was word. But now they want us to include another column to one of the fields and that is why I am having a hard time because everything in the doc is lock except for the fill-out space.


sorry to hear. If you had had a choice...would you of done this in MS Word or MS Excel?

Actually, with the whole documents...it is hard to do just excel because there are parts where you have to write essays. SO i would do it in word but i wont make it this hard to insert a column!

ouch. You can't win either way in this situation.

yups. and this is what I do at work (to answer your question). I just work at department at UCLA with a few other people but we all have our own offices (i share mine with the assistant director) and since she's always out at meetings, I am often alone hence no social contact with other people =(

maybe this?

To make online form fields (form field: In a form, a location where a particular type of data, such as a name or address, is stored.) active so that users can enter information but cannot accidentally change a form (form: A document that contains fill-in blanks, or form fields, in which you enter information. For example, you can create an online registration form in Microsoft Word that uses drop-down lists from which users can select entries.) as they fill it in, the form must be locked, or protected. Before you can change a form, you must remove this protection.

Do one of the following:
On the Tools menu, click Unprotect Document.
On the Forms toolbar, click Protect Form .
If the form requires a password (password: A sequence of characters needed to access computer systems, files, and Internet services. Strong passwords combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.), type the password.
If the form contained data, Microsoft Word preserves the data when you protect the form again. You can clear the data by clicking Reset Form Fields on the Forms toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.).

employment).

edit: are you allowed to listen to music though at work if you are alone (most of the time?)

I am allowed to do most things at work (including napping ;)). And yes, this forum really does help pass time! Imagine 8 hours sitting around coding websites (though I REALLY SUCK). yikes!

I was having this meeting with my web development guy and just hearing him talk about php, css, java..wow that was so hot! He is not a good looking guy and he is much older than me but he all of a sudden got so much more attractive in my eyes because of his skills. You are one lucky guy to know such a skill ;)

and GeneValgene -- thank you too.

iamme -- yes sir! though I will make sure to give you credit, i promise =)

I think you are the first girl I've ever encountered to be turned on by someone who does web development. Either that or I just don't visit the right places.
