Word 2013 As An App Enjoyed 5 Ways

-

The image you see above of a Word 2013 file is the cover of the latest coffee-table book I have almost singlehandedly produced, all 214 pages of it, images & texts, 11" by 8.5" landscape. Happily, I must say. And that's much, because in 3 months, I will be 79 years old, thank God!

Microsoft Word is an ubiquitous application, app, today. This Filipino in Manila is enjoy using this app – are you?

The pleasure is mine!. It has been my pleasure for the last 32 years, from Word 1 starting 1987 to Word XP starting 2003 to Word 2013 starting 2012. And I'm all self-taught.

No, I'm not selling the software – I'm selling you self-teaching the soft skills: creative writing, blogging, editing onscreen, desktop publishing (adding digital photography from my Lumix FZ100 superzoom). Like I said, I'm all self-taught. You can teach yourself too if you're not in a hurry.

So! I have been enjoying:

1)  Editing a technical journal into world-class.
2)  Promoting self-taught digital skills.
3)  Blogging for inclusive development.
4)  Pursuing popular knowledge management.
5)  Producing about 17 books.

Actually, with Microsoft Word since 2005, I have written not only hundreds but thousands of articles and blogged them. You can check out 2 of my blogs with long essays of at least 1,000 words each: Creative Thinkering with 900 essays, and A Magazine Called Love with 2,200 essays.

The technical journal was the Philippine Journal of Crop Science, PJCS, which as Editor in Chief in 2003 I succeeded in 3 years in putting into the international hits list of journals called Web of Science.

The image above is a screen grab from the coffee-table book I produced for the 440 Group of Volunteers of Bay, Laguna; the last draft I have submitted – the final product is theirs to determine as they are the Publisher. I used only Word 2013 to write, edit and do the desktop publishing, DTP, for the book titled The Best Of Ba-i and subtitled Bay, Laguna As Philippine Center Of The Power Of FAITH. (Here, FAITH is an acronym for the 5 major parts of the book: Faith, Arts, Innovation, Technology, History.) The image is a screen capture from my soft copy. You knew this app as solely a word processor – now I must tell you that the screen grab using the same app shows that Word 2013 for DTP is that powerful.

I say, if I can do it, you can do it!

I can demonstrate all that anywhere in a whole-day lecture-demo in a large auditorium – with a giant screen and Internet connection – at your convenience, for any number of participants with their laptops so they can pick up a few tricks from me. I will charge a token of only P3K. Yes, onsite I will demonstrate everything, including writing an original essay of exactly 517 words on a topic based on the news of the day. Now, this is a special offer that only I can give. Email me at frankahilario@gail.com to learn from a Word 2013 genius!517

To FAO Of The UN, Soil Is Important – But Not That Important!

-
Image
Above is the Facebook sharing by Zia Ul Hassan Shah with an image. Above the image is the come-on, “Creativity invited. Give it a try guys.” Below the image is this entry: Soil is a living resource , home to more than 25% of our planet’s biodiversity . So, the Food & Agriculture Organization, FAO, of the United Nations is sponsoring a photo contest as well as a video contest on soil biodiversity because it is crucial to lives on earth, including ours. Special note: Sorry, but the entry “Photo and video contest on soil biodiversity” is grammatically incorrect – it should read, “photo and video contests…” My Facebook comment was: Is this a joke? Prize is only $500! It is not a FAO joke, but it is a joke! You call for creativity in photography and videography and you reward the winner each with only $500?! You are like saying: Soil biodiversity is not that much important anyway! We just wanted the world not to forget about it, if only visually. FAO, you are saying ...

Senior AgriPreneurship, Yes? Some Ideas Don't Grow Old! Like Organic Farming

-

Under the new PH Agriculture, with Secretary of Agriculture William Dar/Manong Willie, one of the paradigm shifts is toward youth entrepreneurship in farming. Youth would mean not more than 25 years old, right? Manong Willie is thinking of funding each youth entrepreneur with P 500 K to kick off a bright idea or something off the ground, literally. To be fair – Manong Willie, how about cultivating us senior entrepreneurs in agriculture? I'm 79, and I have a bright idea of my own for a mini-max kind of farming: you know, minimum inputs, maximum outputs. My bright idea has to do with a different kind of organic farming. No, it is not the organic farming you keep reading about in books, newspapers and even on Facebook. Except the name, this idea actually has been in my mind in the last 50 years or so; yesterday, when I saw the book published by the Asia Rice Foundation, ARF – see half of book cover above – I was reminded of it. It just so happens that the cover shows green and brown –...

When Your Writing Service Needs Help Itself, Who You Gonna Call? Ghostbusters! The Writing Guru From Manila

-
Image
I saw the Facebook post of Antonio G Moran on "Best Dissertation Writing Services UK – Dissertation Help" and my comment was, "Will write about it." AGM's reply was, "I thought you would say: I am already doing it, ha ha." And my reply was, "Wait for my article!" And Jann Fernando Reyes said, "This will be #Fun." AGM's Facebook link leads to the one you see on my screengrab above, which I made in Manila at 0550 hours Friday, 15 November 2019 [1] .   If by now you see a sea change, they must have read me, or noticed after I noticed! Now, I ask you: What do you notice of the notice above?! The advert is from a group in the UK, meaning British; I am a Filipino and English is only my 3rd language, after Ilocano and Tagalog (Filipino). Oh, and I am 79 going on 80; English was taught in Grade 1 when I was that high – and my favorite reading material in high school was the very American Reader's Digest . I saw it at once. You canno...
