revised &
updated: 19/01/02 Homepage:http://www.kamath.com/
Author: ASP, Manohar Kamath, adapted and improved for UK schools by Ian Lee.
Description: "This simple but excellent package can be made accessible
on your network to all staff to view, edit or add events as and when changes
occur. Events are divided into three main colour coded groups -
Events/Activities, Meetings, Recording/Reviewing. Password protection has been
removed but may easily be reactivated if desired. The database can also be
edited directly in Access for easier setting up of the whole year's worth of events
when planning for the next year. See the 'Readme' file that is included in the
package for an outline of changes made by me. The original package may also be
downloaded from the author's web site."
Microsoft Word - European Characters Toolbar
Modern
Languages Assistant for MS Word 97+ (149KB)
Status: Shareware, updated: 17/12/07 - Installation
is fully automatic & RM Connect 2/3 network friendly.
Author: Ian Lee
Description: This
add-in provides an extra menu and toolbar for many European characters.
You can simply highlight a letter, or type it and click a button to add
an accent. Included are all the characters you need for writing in
French, Spanish, German, Welsh and Greek. The latter also being
especially useful for producing mathematical and scientific equations. Clicking on a named language button provides another method for
inserting characters and also sets the language and dictionary for the whole page. If
you have that language installed, it will be used, if not it switches off the
'spell-check as you type' function (which
could be useful). Note:
proofing tools for some languages are included with Word 2000 onwards but need to be
purchased separately for Word 97 - cost around £35 per language. (The buttons
still work without these extra proofing tools)"
The other
'extra' buttons shown here in the standard toolbars, an Adobe pdf
converter and also a page footer which includes the username (network
username too) are also provided as separate installations within the zipped package.
