Re: Template for working on 2005 Yearbook

yeah, but.....

The template that dhitchco created fit on one page, and I can fit alot more info than I can on the website page at 40 characters per line, especially with everything wrapping around.

I created the writeup originally in excel in the template from this thread in the whitepapers (unofficial as it says) so it fit on the 4 lines. If I cut and paste my writeup into the yearbook page online it takes about 6 lines, sometimes more depending on the size of the last word. If I paste the same info into a word document, Times New Roman, font 12, 1 inch margins, it takes up only 2-1/2 lines.

If the yearbook page 40 character format is what we get, we'll make it fit. But I can say alot more in 400 characters (4 lines in Word) than 150 characters (4 lines online). I don't need to be told how to do it - "make it fit, be brief, etc." - I can figure that out myself. I want to be told the requirement - "4, XX character lines" so I can make my own determination as to what I want to fit in there.
