I'm a leader of a youth group (13 - 16yr olds) and we do occasional first-aid training with them, with the help of an external trainer. One time he'd just put up some quite mild pics of some blood-covered injury. All the 13 - 16 yr olds were fine. At the end of the table was one of the ex-youth group, now a leader in his early thirties. A big guy (6'4", heavy build, and huge personality to go with it), he just gave a gentle sigh and slid - very gracefully but with a loud thud - straight off his chair and under the table, out cold. He will never, ever, be allowed to forget. Laugh | :laugh:

@kmoorevs hope your experience was similar to that, and nothing more sinister. Good luck next month.
@gkp1992 me too - I feel your pain (I usually encounter that in the Thunderbird email client)

Not so sure about that. I have certainly had problems with word doing odd things. Especially with lists where the spacing always looks wrong. Looked wrong in the past and still looks wrong these days.

But other solutions have problems too. Far as I recall it is often one with lists.

I have but trying to rewrite the whole doc into LaTeX just so I can add sections to it. Neither the client would pay nor am I eager to do that.

We definitivelly need a irony message icon...

I meant that LaTeX is a PITA. Powerful and good but a big PITA.

I can't remember how many times I had to go to have a look an repair something for my friend when she was writing her tesis. And I had never used it before... Dead | X|

Editing complex documents, especially those with numbered lists and sublists, can indeed be challenging in certain word processing applications
