Key quote from the article: "Encouraging researchers to pack in their text more densely instead of revising their writing so it is clearer and more concise is well-intentioned but terrible advice."

"Working With an Editor: An Overview for Writers" - free @EditorsCanada webinar by Marianne Ward on Feb 23rd. Looks like a great intro! training.editors.ca/upcoming_webin…
Why does re-formatting someone else's tables in Word always seem to take longer than making your own tables from scratch?
Happy 2023 tracking spreadsheet-making day to all those celebrating!
I received Word documents from two different clients this week that had weird formatting (grey highlighting & blue text in one, bold text in another) that I couldn't fix using the usual keyboard shortcuts or buttons on the Home tab. Luckily, format painter did work. Anyone else?
Not sure what the point of that is, exactly. I just wanted to import the PDF into my EndNote library with all the other PDFs so I only have to work from one source. UGH.
Well, that's a new one: found a journal that has the full text publicly available and will let me view a PDF or ePub version on screen, but says I don't have the required license to download either version or print the on-screen version to PDF.
You can access my webinar on project management and time tracking for freelancers at training.editors.ca/webinar_record… There's lots of other great content included in this sale, too!
Save 50% on recorded webinars! If you missed out on the Editors Canada conference or any of our live webinars, now's your chance to catch up. Prices will never be lower. Don't miss out! Sale ends Nov. 28! buff.ly/37DdtdD
My favourite thing about freelancing is getting to catch up on the details of the latest research in so many different fields. I'm currently working on a manuscript on a topic I haven't followed closely since undergrad, and it's amazing how far it's come!
