Thank you so much, lullabymoon! I hope you feel better soon! *sends virtual cookies and hot chocolate*

Yes, sorry you're not feeling so good lullabymoon, and thanks for posting nevertheless!

There has been progress for me. I've now edited the Coda (which I was avoiding like the plague), and am trying out my optional Extra Scene (247 words so far). I'll write a few more, and then have food.

Hope everyone else is doing okay. I shall be very happy if I can polish this fic off today.

Hooray for editing the Coda!

So will I! :D

Feel better soon!

I've had some food - and feel much refreshed for it and my hour break! I'm just doing a quick re-read and edit of the 3000+ words I've written today, then I shall see if I can finish this beggar off!

Aargh. I pressed something while in Word and now my "s and @s have swapped over. *glares at PC*

Anyone know what it was I pressed, so I can swap them back?

Undo?

[thisbluespirit]

No, it's not that simple. This exact same thing happened on one of the public pcs in the library once, but I can't remember how we fixed it in the end.

[lolmac]

No, but you should be able to hit Undo and roll it back.

If that doesn't work, do a set of Find-and-Replace to get them swapped back.

Replace @ with something else, say ^
Replace * with @
Replace your placeholder, ^, with *

Then check to see if it's all happy and nice.

[thisbluespirit]

No, undo doesn't recognise that anything happened, and I can type the wrong button to get the right result, so I don't need find and replace, which would be a fiddly way to get round it.

I've tried a system restore, but it doesn't think I've changed anything, and I tried Googling how to swap keyboard key functions, but got nothing helpful.

This happened once before at the place where I worked, and IT knew how to swap them back. I can't remember how you do it. It's one of those things the computer steadfastly denies all knowledge of. I shall continue to glare at it, and get used to typing the ... Hang on, now I've logged off and on again, it's fixed itself.

Ignore me. I'm fixed. Yay! :-D And thanks for the advice, too.

Ah, I misunderstood the problem -- I thought the text in your document had been swapped around, and I gather the key functions themselves had swapped instead. Bad keys! *smack*

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I didn't realise it was a key functions thing - I thought you meant in the actual text, dope that I am. :D Still, glad you sorted it out!
