BOOKSTORE-IES INTERUPTED

Because I've already written so many bookstore-ies over the years, I thought that I'd be able to post them on this blog from time to time for you readers to enjoy. Now I'm finding out that what was written on M-soft Word is not cut-and-pastable. That's a real kick to the ol' Table of Contents.

I wonder if the new national health care plan will cover treatment for someone who unnecessarily has to retype over 150 texts?

Are there any knowledgeable bloggers out there who know how this importing of text from other sources can be accomplished? A $20 gift certificate to the Acorn Bookshop -- applicable to our online listings as well as in-store stock -- to anyone who successfully helps me do this! Please reply to booknman@gmail.com.

Thanks,
Bookstore George

  1. Is the problem with the text formatting? If it is, have you tried the old trick of cutting and pasting into Notepad and then transferring it to Blogspot? That should fix it as it would get rid of the fiddly MSWord formatting which LiveJournal doesn't seem to like either.

  2. Good idea, Liam of London! Been there, done that, didn't work. Too bad, as I would have been happy to supply you with $20 worth of Acorniana.

    Thanks for the suggestion, though. Stay tuned to "Bookstore-ies"!

  3. I'll see what else I can come up with. Watch you email!

    And of course I'll be looking forward to the next post.
