I have been experiencing problems with my web host Beach Computers which I hope will be resolved in the near future.
Currently my site is being hosted on a temporary server. My hosting company,
Beach Computers, is trying really hard and posts regular messages
explaining how hard their staff is trying and detailing some of the problems
caused by Qwest bumbling. This backup site can be found at kenyonck.addr.com.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
This is my old site (where the host has gone out of
business) but you may want to bookmark it or add it to your favorites just in
case. It is not a "mirror" site so it is not normally kept up to date
and my ability to update it may become nonexistent. However, when problems are
experienced on my main site, I try to bring it up-to-date very quickly.

 | Letterhead system.
This is a system for self-updating letter forms.  The idea is to have
letterhead components stored in one location and have letter forms
reference that location when used so that form letters will have the
latest letterhead information. If you are generating your letterhead on
the computer or if your letter forms need to accommodate pre-printed
letterhead, you should look at this! - Last updated 10-Jul-2001 - Version

| Gender Toolbar
-
Lets you use a custom document
property to make gender-specific fields in Word 97 or 2000. Contains
built in toolbar, instructions for installation (and un-installation),
autotext entries & macros. - Last Updated 3-Feb-2001. Zip file 60 K -
Version 2001.02
Unobtrusive
- powerful!
Example:
Ms.
X is female, a woman. She
is married, making her
a wife.
Her
bicycle was a present from her
parents. That is why people say the bicycle is hers.
Mr.
X is male, a man. He
is married, making him
a husband. His
bicycle was a present from his
parents. That is why people say the bicycle is
his.
The
gender-specific words can be set/changed at the click of a button.
The fields can be inserted from the toolbar. Once fields have been inserted
from the toolbar, the document with
fields can be used by someone else who does not have the add-in by manually
changing the document property. Otherwise, they retain their gender just as if
they were ordinary text.
