I am writing a report in word, and wanted to insert a link, so copied the URL, highlighted a word in my report and pasted and ...
... was highly disappointed to see that my word did not turn into a clickety pointing at the target URL. 
I think some CP features should be part of the next windows version.

To paste information as a hyperlink, follow these steps:
1.Select the information to be copied and press Ctrl+C. This copies the information to the Clipboard.
2.Position the insertion pointer where you want the link to appear.
3.Choose Paste As Hyperlink from the Edit menu.

My Word2010 does not have this.
Plus, stop spoiling my belief that CP is better than Word.

Select the existing word, hit Ctrl+K, and paste the web address into the Address field.
Not too much harder.

Then upgrade to Word 2003. You'll never regret it.

In Word it is a bit (much more) complicated...
1. Select the text
2. Hit Ctrl+K (a dialog opens)
3. Hit Ctrl+V (the address combo now contains your selction)
4. Hit Enter to confirm...
(and CP much better than that - only one Ctrl+C and you done)

I am returning to contract programming after a long time. Forgive my ignorance in this matter.
Trying to Google the answer really confused me further.
Is there a good rule of thumb to determine at what point does dollars per hour translate to an annual salary?
For example, a 6 month job in California pays $90/hour. The same company is offering a salary of $115K/year with NO benefits (no health insurance nor retirement plan) That part comes out of the pay per year.
I am thinking a simple linear chart where if I work a certain time (3.2 months) contracting I will earn more. But I am surely missing something: FICA is twice the amount, instability of hours, no vacation time, do I need workmen's comp in CA? I seriously doubt if the company will fold over tomorrow, but it could happen too.
Could one of the contractor folks point me in the right direction? I would really appreciate the input.
Sincerely

There is no rule of thumb answer to this question. You need to work that out for yourself. In my decades of contracting I have been asked variations of this question a number of times. I don't know about you specifically but it usually indicates the questioner is not cut out for contracting.

Or is new to it, and smart enough to ask questions in a place where there are thousands of people with the knowledge to answer them.

Agreed. Quite derogatory.
Same job, different way of getting paid. Although one tends to move around a bit more.

Rude.
I would bet you were lucky enough to find a special niche, decades ago.
For a lot of us, it's hard to be a marketer, salesperson and expert software developer all at the same time. But we try.
|
|
|
|

How is stating a fact being rude?
No I never found that niche and I saw many enter the contracting world and leave again for secure jobs.
I can speak as someone who worked their whole working life without that secure job. You have touched on some of the issues a contractor needs to address but as I said in my reply it is pretty easy to pick those who are cut out for it.

This is not my original work, I can't remember which CPian gave it to me, but:
Quote: Start with the number of hours you work in a year -
2080 hours in a year
1960 working hours in a year (10 federal holidays)
1920 working hours if you take two weeks vacation
For multi-year contract (3+ assume no risk) for all others risk = 1 month + 40 hours for every month under 6 months. (Time to look)
1760 working hours available for 6 month contract
Find annual salary you want:
$50k
Find cost of health insurance, etc
$5k (just for giggles)
$55k/1760 = $31.25
Now that is gross, so you need to take into account taxes, etc, etc, etc

So 10 days federal holiday equals = -120 hrs - Which suggests a 60 hr week
And then 2 week vacation (10 days) = -40 hrs - Which suggests a 20 hr week.

You math is seriously whacked.
Holidays: 10 * 8 = 80, NOT 120.
Vacation: 2 weeks of vacation is 10 days. Again 10 * 8 = 80.
Most companies (in the US) allow 15 days of "PTO" (personal time off) to use as you wish (vacation and sick time). This means the "Vacation" category should actually be 15 * 8 (which is 120 hours).
so when you take the 2080 value, and subtract 200 hours, you end up with a total of 1880 actual work hours, if the company you work for honors all federal holidays, and most companies only have 8 holidays (for instance, MLK day is generally not recognized as a holiday by civilian companies).
Of course none of this matters - at all.
