Or you could just click the button in Word that says to skip page 1, and move your cover page to a separate DOC. PDF both, then recombine in Acrobat.

I'm not positive because I've never tried it, but perhaps setting the "Start at page:" option to '-1' might work too.

They are talking about colder temps this coming week, but down here it's still supposed to be in the mid-40s. It should be coming in within the next few weeks (I'd hope!) Cool, sounds like our forcast a week or two ago. There's no ice yet, it' all super thin hoar and frozen turf. BTW, I know I should GU or get a better memory, but are you a student/what do you work as? I'm in a teacher certification program, so I work in a classroom and take classes. I make a bit of money as a freelance writer. So you're hoping to be a teacher, right? Jezez fukin christ. I sound like Oprah doing an interview. It's sad days when procrastination come to this. No, just doing the teacher certification for fun. You brainless twit.  Yes, I'll be certified for grades K-8, if they don't kick me out of the program.
How bout you two go make your own thread elsewhere

Actually, on the subject, the formatting of my 400 page dissertation was a nightmare, and a lot of the guidelines that they required were very difficult to get MS Office to do, especially in terms of page numbering. The night before I had to submit my dissertation, I could NOT for the life of me get the intro's roman numeral page numbers to omit page i and ii, and start on page iii (stupid rule). I was ready to smash my computer and go all Kaczynski on the college of grad studies So clausti came up with a brilliant idea. We put opaque white circles over the i and ii page numbers, and then immediately transferred the file over into PDF format, where it remains to this day. heh. ^^^yore not reading that^^^ Hmmm, and here I would have just used 2 different word files. tried that. only way it would have worked would have been to put them all together separately into one pdf (i.e., when I tried to combine multiple docs into one doc, it failzed to retain the numbering patterns), which I could not figure out how to do at that time. Print both docs to pdf. Open one of them. Document -> Insert Pages. Dammit!
you were rong. well, it's possible the menus are different on whatever version of Acrobat you have.

Mal told me I could get to Penitente in under three hours with some crazy backroads driving. Might check it out next week. You do realize that Penitente climbing involves sharp rhyolite edges and pockets, right? Just curious. Curt Yes. I need to bleed out my pussyness.

all I saw was some talk about Word using vector format and PDF freezing it into a bitmap, which donny already told you was RONG.

Decided to just clippity clip on Sunday so we ventured into the 1st and 2nd pullout shit show. Found a Handren guide laying around that nobody claimed. Yet somehow just before we were ready to go it disappeared. Fuck. Then it was an eight hour ride home. That was really the highlight of the trip. RR is becoming my own personal EPC. Sorry to hear about Tish's incident! I think zeke has dubbed RR Potrero North. I've only climbed there that one day with you guys, so I don't have too much of an opinion about the place. Some of the stuff we did was good, some of it was pretty ordinary. we didn't exactly hit the megaclassics that day. no, no we did not.

Left Out was legitimately a good route, and that thing with blutarski's .5 to the right was a decent .9. Oh, and we decided that Snupe failzed on Left Out, seeing as how he was there and did not attempt. Woo! Glory! It was dark? There was adequate light for a TR run. it was much more fun saving it for teh lede (since a TR run = fIal) and watching you struggle to clean on teh lower. Yes, but now you have to go back there. FIAL. I'd still have to go back there even if just TRd it. It's not like it's an hour and a half into a canyon. The real question is whether I should ever go back to Inti Watana to do the last four pitches. It's 2+ hours of misery to get to. meh. I don't know if it was so good as to warrant a return visit to lead after TRing it. You're on your own for that Inti Watana thing. The chances of me ever getting there to do it at all are slim. I'd have to be out there in April or May. It'd depend on whether Will wanted to get back on it, really. Though it'd be a gud rowt for you and blutarski to do in January. Well, we are faster and better climbers than you and Will, and we aren't big pussies either. January it iz! Woo! Woo! *kamhed shitz pantz in rage ... ... at jiant quote stringz* My bowels are empty. so are yore quote stringz.

So I was bored and finally clicked on the 'how to survive a free solo' thread. It was SO worth it!! If you guys haven't seen it yet, watch the video in there, truly amazing stuff. Watch the guy's footwork, unbelieveable.
