Hi.
I came across your blog on a search for image compression within Word.
But you seem to offer more value than that for me: I have an IT background but have recently moved into teaching English to speakers of other languages. I can see from your tag map and other references (e.g., to Moodle) that you’re into e-learning.
Suggestion: how about an entry in the blog’s “About” page? At present, it says, “This is an example of a WordPress page …”
You seem to have some high quality content … good wishes,
David
Thanks David, for this suggestion, I have followed this up, and time permitting I will add other tabs along the top. Glad you like my blog.
Hi David
I love the resources on your site and often direct teachers to them. I used your helpsheet on “How to record a sound bite into a Word document” and customised my toolbar for audio-file marking. But now I’ve ‘upgraded’ computer and have Office 2007 – and can’t work out how to do the same thing.
Can you help?
Thanks
Helen
Hi. The answer is that yes it is possible to do the same thing in Office 2007 as I helped someone acheive this, but I cannot remember the steps that I took, and at the moment I don’t have access to office 2007 to try again. As soon as I do get access I will work this out again and re-blog the method.
Glad you like the resources.
hallo Dave
interested to know more about a fellow inhabitant of this planet who has the same name as me .
