Acts Commentary Revision for Printing

AT-Acts is ready now. This is how I spent my whole day, working on this.

Meta: I have been expecting Microsoft to do something stupid in the near future. Recently they have completely alienated me by something that is actually minor in the broader picture, but a show-stopper for me. The online version of Word now has forced the issue of styles. If I load a document with the default styles modified, it changes them to something MS has decided is the only way to do things. In order to keep my paragraph styles, I’m forced to rename them something not already defined by MS, which causes problems in every other system that imports the DOCX format. That means it messes things up in Google Docs and LibreOffice, and it’s major pain to get everything back where it belongs. I’m not using any part of the MS Office Online any longer.

I suppose this is what the Lord knew was coming when He moved me to drop Windows and Office a couple of months ago. The only reason I can offer anything in DOCX format is because Google Docs uses it natively, and LibreOffice can export to several formats other than their own ODT. Be forewarned folks, once all of my current books are reformatted, all my future books will be offered in other formats, but I won’t be messing with MS Office stuff any more.

    Well, it won’t hurt my feelings any. I haven’t used Office in years other than to provide .doc if someone has nothing else….. Thanks to you, I have been using LibreOffice for years now.
