Newsjack - Series 2 Page 17

Ah! Well I have quite a few things to change for next week!!

Just tried it and it was fairly straightforward. In my version of Office it's 'Page Layout' rather than 'Format' though which threw me for a bit.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/writersroom/2010/01/newsjack_script_smart_or_smart.shtml

THE TOOLBAR IS YOUR FRIEND.
Start by clicking on Format.
Then click on Paragraph.
See 'Indentation Special'? Set that to 'Hanging' and '4cm'.

If you use OpenOffice, you might find this works instead:

In the menu, click:

Format > Paragraph

Under the "Indents & Spacing" tab, set "Before Text" to "4.00cm" and "Before First Line" to "-4.00cm".

This seems to have the same effect.

Don't forget to Save As a Word .doc before submitting it, however.

I've noticed that Open Office can alter a bit when saved as Word.

I take it that no one on here has heard anything yet? I know people love to come on here and gloat and rub everyone's noses in it!
;)

I don't think people have heard officially but I've just come back from the recording and am pretty sure they used one of The Producer's corrections. So well done you :) and apologies if I got that wrong in which case you were robbed!

Good show and great performances as always. Loved the Google sketch amongst others.

Great - thanks Jane! Hope it a) got a laugh and b) makes the cut for tomorrow. The latter would mean either a credit or a legal case, both of which would be nice (I would represent myself - have always fancied striding around a courtroom since watching LA Law as a kid)

Yes, it got a decent laugh and I don't want to tempt fate but as they only record about 4 or 5 corrections I'd say you're almost definitely in there!

There was a full audience tonight (downstairs at least) so if they were all writers and I was the only one from BCG that's a lot of competition - no wonder it's so hard to get a look in!

That's my excuse for this week anyway. My excuse for the next two weeks is I'm out of the country so unless there are any exciting stories breaking in the canaries I'm out of touch. (I don't think spending hours in internet cafes will go down too well otherwise. :) )

Shame I missed the BCG massive. The black shirts stuck me at the front. I saw your name on the list, Jane P!

Sorry I missed you too RJ. Did you get anything on?

I wonder if the ones that went down best last night will do so tonight. I loved the 3D Radio which you could see they were all having fun with, and the Google one was great plus Miles saying Babble instead of Bible. Sometimes it's the silly things. :)

Hurray! They used something of mine apparently. No idea if it'll make the cut but here's hoping. If it does, it will be my first broadcast joke EVER. Even if it is DAB.

Well done Elise! :) Hope to hear it tonight...

Nice one, Elise! Well done!
