An update on what has been going on with this years book project. Last time I said that I had done the draft for all work done in 1988.
Progress has not been good as I have been away doing training with IOSH on a course that I have already done before, but as company policy is that every member of staff will do this course even if you have already done it.
So back to the book, and I can say that the draft chapter for all work done in 1989 has also been done and it runs to 15 pages of A4.
I do not yet know just how big this book is going to be, but it looks like it will be large, even without photos.

Website Book
As you may or may not already know I have a website that lists alll the work the producer & Director Dirk Maggs has done. As I was looking for a writing project I thought it would be a good idea to produce a book from the contents of the website.
Little did I know what I was letting myself in for, as the book is some 300 pages long when using an A4 layout. The bigest single cause of %%$^%$$ has been Microsoft Word, which for some reason was falling over. I do not understand why as I have written a much larger book and did not have much if any trouble. In fact the last book that I wrote had 26 pages of contents so that should give you some idea as to how large that book was.
Anyway as I was saying the current book is 310 pages of A$ with 6 pages of contents and a file size of 6 Megs. The only thing that I can think of that is making word fall over is the picture that are in the book.
So as I said at the start of this the book is nearly done and I must admit that it has been over a month in doing the conversion from web pages to word or text pages, this was a surprize to me as I thought the task would have taken much less time.
So all I now have to do is get the page numbering right spell check it and then convert it to a PDF file and upload to my Lulu page, I will report back on progress.
