FFZ Design Diary: Some Bad News

Well, there comes a time in every computer user's life when he must restore his computer to factory settings, and then doesn't have his MS Office disc without the Product Key.

*sigh*

I was writing up the stuff in MS Word, which allowed me to make those pretty text quote boxes that I <3, and could handle a lot of the graphics hoopla that FFZ does.

Without Word, I go to Open Office. Which works for most purposes, really, but can't do those graded text quote boxes, and has some border wonkiness.

Which sucks a lot.

I'm probably going to spend some obsessive time trying to do some sort of work-around (maybe I can make Paint do the boxes? maybe I can swing some office time to work on it?) before giving up and settling for lower quality (which I do so dislike doing, as you can tell from how awesome the files look! ).

It's nothing epic -- I've still got the files, and I've still got the references; FFZ has survived worse -- but it's annoying.

I'm working on the Playtest document right now. Fortunately, that doesn't need to be so pretty.
