I have heard multiple horror stories of companies where employees are expected to read and process over 500 e-mails daily. That's pure insanity.<br /><br />Beth,<br />I don't work in Word, except for converting what I've written to Word when I send out a final copy to someone.

If they're all Word files, each suceeding update just updates those files as it installs, and you'll find them all in the new updated format. Maybe I'm not understanding something here, but I've done updates to Word and they automatically converted everything to the new updated version.Beth Andersonhttp://www.bethanderson-hotclue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-51878963194661352892011-09-20T13:54:53.634-04:002011-09-20T13:54:53.634-04:00Ain't technology great?

Standards for cleanliness in homes were ratcheted up when cleaning gizmos appeared in the 50's. "Housewives" had to work all the harder to keep up. And all these computers mean we can work all the time. I mean, all the time. There is no option but to keep up if you want toJ.P.

I have paper copies of a lot of stuff as well, but I'm relying more and more on electronic storage so, for some things, what I'm working with is the only copy in existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-3163764044278948582011-09-20T09:52:23.521-04:002011-09-20T09:52:23.521-04:00I hate nothing more than moving everything to a ne...I hate nothing more than moving everything to a new computer. The very thought makes me anxious. <br /><br />I have both electronic and paper copies of everything I've ever written on a computer, and paper copies of older stuff done on a typewriter. I've cannibalized a lot of it for new projects -- and I'm glad I did -- but there's one suspense novel I want to rewrite and publish.Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-58325408419280235242011-09-20T09:34:09.567-04:002011-09-20T09:34:09.567-04:00I hear you.

Yes, the characters keep popping into my head at odd times. And I still balk at poaching those plots for something I'm working on now, just in case I might want to revisit the earlier ones.
