And here I was recently having spasms over a contest entry where the rules specified (among other things) that the page numbers be on every sheet except the first. I cannot figure out how, in Pages, to turn it off on the first page (I remember how in Word, but Pages has its little quirks). After a while of fighting with my printer over a cranky cartridge, and a good thirty pages' worth of test printing just to get things looking decent, I gave up and printed everything exactly as it already was, page number 1 and all.

Now, if I get disqualified for THAT, I will be officially pissed off. ;)

...but, um, yes, I double-space everything in Courier.

Heeeeeeee. You know what you can do?

Buy a bottle of Wite-Out next time. (Or Liquid Paper. I'm not brand-loyal.)

I plan to. ;)

(I'd actually tried using the copier feature on said printer, with the corner folded over so the 1 didn't get copied, but it only exacerbated the printing flaws when it copied. And by then it was late and I was immensely frustrated, as one can get when a terribly expensive printer does not do your bidding. I tried! I read the rules! Really, I did! *sob* ;)

...and I didn't mean to use the word "copied" that many times. Ahem.

You are forgiven.

*gives you absolution*

That actually seems like kind of a stupid rule. I wonder what they have it for.

Detecting one's ability to read the fine print?

Hey, sometimes the fine print is important!

That it can be!
