That had a little more to do with where relative/lawn-tree owner asked.

Never used, but this doesn't work? Or the following (transcription from paid Lynda vid). Moving content between pages, layouts, and books It's likely that at some point in time, you'll want to move content around in your iBooks Author projects, whether it's a single paragraph or an entire chapter. For the most part, this is an easy task. But it's a topic worth exploring since there are some nice shortcuts you can use, as well as some restrictions to be aware of. In our look at how to rearrange content in iBook's author, let's start small and work our way up to the big stuff. First, we'll look at individual pieces of text and page elements. In addition to being able to copy and paste text, iBooks Author supports drag and drop text editing. So if you have a paragraph or other range of text that you want to move elsewhere, you simply first select the text, you can click and drag over it, or if you want a whole paragraph, you can triple click. In this case, I'll just select the last sentence of this first paragraph on the page, then just move your cursor over the selected text, and click and drag the text where you want it. So, if I wanted this sentence to be the first sentence in the next paragraph I'll just drag and drop it right there. You can drag to another place in the current text box, to a different text box, or even to a different document, although you'd have to arrange it so you can see both documents at the same time. You can also make a copy of text as you drag it by holding the Option key when you release. Another thing to remember about moving text is that the text will take on the formatting of the surrounding text where you put it. So for example, I drop this into a paragraph that was blue, bold, and italics, and it took on all that formatting. I'll go to page seven of my document and here I have a table. If I select the table and copy it and go to page 8 and paste, the table comes in at the same position it was on in the original page. If you want to move pages within a document, the smallest chunk you can move is a section, you can't cut and paste or drag and drop individual pages. This is because iBooks Author is a structured authoring tool, it needs to maintain the underlying structure of books and other projects by keeping sections of content intact. So, for example in this project, in Chapter 3, I'll click the triangle to tip it open, and I can see I have content organized into five sections. It's no problem to select a section and drag it to a different place in the chapter. So, I could move EROSION in front of TRANSPORTATION if I wanted to. Note how the section numbers automatically update. I could also drag these sections to a different chapter if I wanted to, but I can't select individual pages to move. If I tip open the section and try to grab a single page, see how the yellow highlighting goes around the whole section? That's iBooks author giving me a clue that I don't have just the page, selected I have the whole section. I can also right-click or Ctrl+click on the first page of a section to cut it, or copy it. I can also delete, duplicate, and paste a section that I'd copied previously. If you really need to be able to move a chunk of content that's smaller than a section, you need to cut and paste it into an existing section or create a new section that you can paste into. To move a chapter within a document, just like with the sections, simply select the chapter, and either the book outline or page thumbnails, and drag and drop it into the position where you want it. I'll close up this section, close up the chapter, and if I wanted to I could move Chapter 3 in front of Chapter 2. You can make working with chapters easier by clicking on the triangle on the left side to close them up as you move them. Another small tip is to drag to the left of the thumbnail. That way the chapter won't pop open as you're dragging over it. To move a chapter or a section to a new document, select it, right-click or Control+click, and choose copy chapter. I'll press Command+tilde to change to a different document, right- click or Ctrl+click, and choose Paste. Note that if the new document has different paragraph or character style definitions than the source document, the text formatting will not change to match the receiving document's styles. To make it match, you have to use the paragraph styles panel menu and choose Revert to define style for any mismatched styles. In this movie we saw how to move content both within and between iBooks Author projects. You can drag and drop or cut and paste ranges of text, sections, or whole chapters, but not individual pages. And remember that the formatting of a range of texts will change if you move it to a place where a different style is applied, but the formatting of text in chapters and sections that you move will not change until you take action to change it.

A week ago realized I had set aside a sizable amount in FSA due to substantial dental work last dentist (visited once and didn't like) said I needed and I never got around to. So dash to a new dentist who stated I needed almost none of it. Yea! Damn! After confirming I can't roll over a portion or bill through March, just completed today whirlwind three visits to the optometrist in six days and three visits to the dentist in five to bring the balance down to $18 and change. Feels like a victory.

Mel, Esmé, and I did our annual visit to The Great Dickens Christmas Fair. This time with special guests Al & Claire. Thanks for hanging out guys.

Yep.

Not sure why Bay Area real estate still surprises me, but... If anyone is looking for a home in the 2 mill space see below. In flood zone, but appears to come with sound system and stabilizing support for next quake. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Palo-Alto/258-Middlefield-Rd-94301/home/1147482

Hopefully the job is nothing like Navy bootcamp, but at least there "not a morning person" ceases within two days. May seem a ridiculous comparison (and the back issue is separate, of course), but if this job or another looks positive in other respects, believe me everyone can adapt to the hours. Everyone.

Mikey, you posted the curling videos. Does anyone need more sports?

I think I'm approaching the six year mark (and didn't use much a couple years before that though was free). Hulu Plus (TV & Criterion), Netflix (though quality has really suffered over time), BitTorrent, and other web streaming covers enough screen time for me.

So far I like it quite a bit better than these guys.

For all those pulled into the Frozen phenom, Audible has the inspiration, Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, audiobook for free. http://dealmac.com/1228439.html

That would be so cool, however unfortunately, Esmé & Mel wouldn't be on the trip. Let's chat on PM about possibilities. As for speakers, any post-pallet photos yet?

These are strangely entertaining. From excited to confused in five minutes...

Hey Gene, does your daughter partake in the Sundance flick festivities? Still debating if I'm going this year. If so, there may be a small group regularly grabbing drinks on Main if she's into that.

Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me. Been pretty much on hypnotic, continuous play for the last couple days. Thanks Al.

dp2 quattro showed up a couple days ago, but unpacked tonight. Didn't want to take a new camera out in the rain, but two test shots from the garage. Both iso100 & f/16. These are unfortunately not full resolution. Anyone have a recommendation for an account that allows such?
