Complaint from an Old Fogey
Ah, to be a millenial and know well the secrets of computer technology!
I find that I miss quite a few contests and submission requests because of my Neanderthal computer skills.
Everything has to be in PDF, and all excerpts have to be copied and pasted in PDF. Now, I can easily copy and paste in Word, but PDF just baffles me.
Other people are kind enough to do it for me but then I have to do it myself when the time comes to enter it in the submission request.
I'm sure any millenial will laugh at this post and at me and with good reason. I'm sure it's quite simple for many. But I've been online with Adobe geeks and still cannot do it. In fact, one of their geeks took almost an hour to copy and paste one short passage.
Ah well, some things are just not meant to be, I suppose. But I do wonder: if it's so easy in Word, why is it so complicated in PDF?
