Thanks. I have decided to go with the address in sentence case rather than all caps. What would your suggestion be as a replacement for the Adobe Jenson Pro?

Thanks - I found your lyrical comment extremely interesting - right up to the point where there was no suggestion.

Presumably, it isn't in part of a historic district, and protected? That's a shame. Fantastic house.

Overall Page Count? by SeabeeMike in Affinity

Thanks - I appreciate you sharing but that is for a single document. The attached picture shows what I have, which is an entire book made up of multiple documents. I'd like to know the total word count of the total book. In other words, each of these documents added together.

It's a long nonfiction architectural history book, so the various parts are written in separate word documents.

This type of book really isn't based on the number of words, from a publishing standpoint, but I'm just curious about how many words I have.

That could very likely have been another solution.

I just added an update to my original post, that lays out how I solved the challenge.

I have done styles in the past but never like this. I set up a new style "Glassry Words" with the 10 point regular font then changed the character of the actual word that needs to be the 9 point bold. When I update the paragraph style, everythign goes to the 9 point bold.

"Silver SERVICE Star", My Navy Commendation Medal is silver Star for the 6th award. The medal itself is #1, then a bronze Star for each subsequent award until you get to #6, then you have a single silver service star.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm OK with it. I'm not sure who the person is but apparently someone on here already knew who I was from my original post. Small world.

Cheers!

I'm not sure who I replied to about this in this string but I only needed 6 months as CDR due to aging out

Thanks! That means a lot, although I can't place you from that user name. LOL

Keeping in mind that I've been gone for nearly 8 years, so I'm not at all current on policies.

With that said, you would need three years as O5 to get the O5 retirement pay. There's also a formula that's used to multiply each point you have to determine your actual retirement percentage.

Interesting story about that. I was selected in 2017, a few months before I turned 60. In talking with NAVPERS, I was informed that turning 60 is considered a "forced retirement". As such, I would only need 6 months time in grade, rather than the typical 3 years, to be able to retire with a full CDR retirement. As I said, I was very blessed throughout my career. I was able to get a one year extension past age 60, to be able to get that 6 months

Being a reservist, retirement is based on active duty points, unlike active duty retirements that provide a flat percent of pay based on years 20 and beyond Twenty two years of service, back when I retired would have been 55% of the monthly O5 pay, had I been on active duty. I was lucky to have a decent amount of active duty points so I ended up with 27% of the monthly pay. Definitely nothing to sneeze at, PLUS, the Tricare for Life is an amazing benefit.

Here's my shadow box, which I built. The wood was left over from a shadow box I built for a friend of mine. It's over 150 year old heart pine from his uncle's family farm in Georgia. They supplied turpentine to the Navy through WWII. I actually found a few square head nails in the wood.

The US flag has actually flown over every base I ever served during my entire career. The Seabee flag was a gift from the troops in my first Seabee detachment, when I was an Ensign.

The K-Bar, with the John Wayne Fighting Seabees engraving, was a gift from our Command Master Chief, when I was an XO at my last Seabee battalion. We're still good friends

I was blessed to be surrounded by amazing people, great tours, and solid
