Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

work colleagues who have no idea how to use the paragraph numbering you've already set up in a Word document, but who add in sections by manually typing paragraph numbers in multiple places, forcing you to reformat the whole document because otherwise you end up with stupid bits like this:

3.2.3.2.2.3.2.6.3.1

3.2.3.2.2.3.2.6.3.1.1

Work colleagues who use Excel spreadsheets to track changes to text, rather than using Word.

Word documents were the paragraph formatting/numbering goes all over the place for no apparent reason except that it wants to make one's life a misery.
