“However, in the numbered sections, the ribbon the Normal font is not boxed in even though the fonts are Times New Roman.”

I noticed that also, but I didn’t see how paragraph style (such as Normal) could affect the font control.

However, Andrew’s explanation would account for what I reported in post #15.

I’m finding that if I delete one of the earlier numbered items and its accompanying paragraph, thereby shifting the problematic item 7 to item 6, the formerly problematic text is no longer problematic, but the new item 7 (i.e., the former item 8) has the problem instead. This seems to support the view that the file might be corrupt.

I’m not seeing how setting x to h satisfies the problem of minimizing f(x). As I wrote earlier, that problem seems to require getting the entire expression within the absolute value symbols to equal zero.

I’m not sure I understand the question, but I believe I showed that the quadratic is zero if and only if x = +/-sqrt(k) + h. Therefore, setting x = +/-sqrt(k) + h will result in the quadratic’s being zero.

To minimize f(x) = | -(x – h)² + k | – q, try to set x such that taking the absolute value yields the lowest possible value, i.e., zero:

-(x – h)² + k = 0,
-(x – h)² = -k,
(x – h)² = k,
x – h = +/-sqrt(k), # “+/-” represents “plus or minus”
x = +/-sqrt(k) + h,

which is “real” because k is a positive real number.

So, the answer is (A) -q.

I take the vertical bars to mean “absolute value” (i.e., if the expression inside the vertical bars evaluates to a negative value, multiply it by -1). I’ll defer posting my answer.

If I’m understanding the problem, then I think that child A was given the number 2. Child A couldn’t tell at first whether child B had been given the number 1 or 3. But when child B couldn’t tell child A’s number, it was evident that child B did not hold the number 1. So child A could infer that child B was given the number 3.

Hi Chuck,
There is apparently such a template at the Illinois Valley Community College website. Randy Rambo is the professor who holds the copyright, and the following webpage includes his contact information.

I have not found any templates that have been released by software manufacturers.

Hope this helps,

In at least some versions of Microsoft Word, the “comment text” style governs only how comments look in a printed list of markup.

So, you might try altering the “comment subject” style. I’m not defending the name. 8^)

Hi LC,
Could you clarify whether in using the term “comments,” you mean the bubbles in the margin that don’t affect the actual text and that the user would typically populate with reminders or suggestions. This contrasts with the bubbles in the margin that contain actual alterations to the actual text (i.e., that appear when “track changes” has been enabled).

Do (or should) email providers generally create SPF records for their domains?

If Client Priority Status can be derived from Client Priority, and Stage Status can be derived from Stage, why have the user update these Status fields rather than doing it automatically?

Also, your friend might explain to Cox that she is not the true sender and ask Cox to investigate who is (which I think Cox should have done in the first place).

After further pondering the headline, I think that my fundamental concern was that the phrase “as easily as” seemed misleading or nebulous. Perhaps the phrase “as well as” would have been a better choice.

How about we agree to disagree?
