rjlippincott, I started to muse about how my situation could be... less optimal, i.e., I could be doing this mess in PowerPoint, and it occurred to me that - as my very favorite program to transate in - it should really be called PowerPoink, for obvious onomatopoeic reasons.
Google says its eternally vigilant band of spiders have previously found "PowerPoink" a total of 8 times, so I'm not entirely original with this neologism, but who knows? Who cares? I think it's apt, if not actually trespassing over on the side of cute.
Can you tell my heart really isn't in this 7800-word... text? The good news is, though, that there's quite a bit of repetition in it, so that getting it done by the end of the day is eminently feasible (I am, in fact, more than halfway through, and blessing Wordfast as it does the grunt work.)
Cheers...
