Hi All A long time ago I went through the need for a ruler to mark my transcribing position. I had the ruler suspended from the top of the monitor with a nifty ratchet like gizmo, operated by my left foot, to lower the ruler in suitable increments. My right foot operated the ruler return mechanism (I had to be careful as a heavy right foot sent the whole contraption flying). I then found it easier to paint a ruler on the monitor, about 1/3 up the screen. I keep the current line just above the "ruler" when transcribing. The draw back of having a ruler painted on the screen is that you have to type around it. cheers Bob Phillips ----- Original Message ----- From: "camred" <camred@ntlworld.com> To: <FREEBMD-DISCUSS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 7:54 PM Subject: Ruler in WinBMD > I think it would help > > -- > Victor > > > I transcribe for FreeBMD at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ > > *********************************************************** > All incoming & outgoing mail is virus checked by Norton AV > *********************************************************** > > > > > ============================== > Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration > Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
