Editing Hell, part 7bajillion
Feb. 23rd, 2009 11:17 amThis time it's not the editor's fault. Or mine
I HATE .rtf with the burning passion of a thousand fiery suns. I spent 4 hours redoing most of what i did yesterday, plus jerry-rigging a solution to get my hidden edits out of the document. (this meant using Bun's computer, making changes on my laptop, and e-mailing the changes to my desktop. In .doc format!)
I know, bitch bitch bitch, at least I'm getting published.
I just hate doing the same work more than once.

Hidden edits are edits that you can turn on or off. And even though I had them on, I couldn't see them in an .rtf in Open Office. I had to use a windoze machine and Word Perfect.

My editor and I are using .doc from here on out.
