		<description>&quot;you have to be constantly vigilant that you’re not over-riding them with local styling&quot;

Arrrgh! I hate that kind of rubbish. I&#039;m not really surprised that it&#039;s possible with Word. They&#039;ve been piling in so many features for years, it can probably cook your dinner for you, in 60pt Papyrus with a purple background. Yum.

Vector graphics I have not tried, but PNGs or JPGs are ok. I used this setup in earnest yesterday and it works very nicely indeed. I had a few diagrams and screenshots. Came out nice so it did.</description>

		<description>I totally agree this is a better method than traditionally &#039;word processing&#039; a document.
Previously I&#039;ve used raw HTML and found it more convenient (and with fewer formatting surprises) than Word.  Your set up looks even better.

It is in theory possible to make Word create a structured document where you define styled regions, e.g. headings, although it is possibly more trouble than it&#039;s worth because you have to be constantly vigilant that you&#039;re not over-riding them with local styling.

What do you do when you want to include vector graphic objects, e.g. flow diagrams, mockups, etc?

PS: have a cigarette? oh FFS..</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve made a function for ManagerManager to set a template depending on parent id:

function mm_selectTemplate($parentIDs, $tplID) {
    global $modx;
    $e = &amp;$modx-&gt;Event;
    
    $output = &quot; // ----------- select template -------------- \n&quot;;
    $parentIDs= makeArray($parentIDs);
    foreach ($parentIDs as $parent)
        $output .= &#039; if(document.mutate.parent.value == \&#039;&#039;.$parent.&#039;\&#039;) $j(&quot;select[name=template]&quot;).val(&quot;&#039;.$tplID.&#039;&quot;);&#039; . &quot;\n&quot;;
    
    $e-&gt;output($output . &quot;\n&quot;);
}</description>

		<title>Comment on Pity the Prawns: Scientists say that Crustaceans Suffer Pain by Alistair</title>

		<description>Thanks for the comment Kory. Actually, one can just as well say that we&#039;re made of the same stuff that robots are: atoms and molecules. This proves only that reduction to our constituent &quot;stuff&quot; is irrelevant here. It is obvious that prawns and humans are both kinds of animals, and therefore share many characteristics. Whether pain is shared is the issue here.

Remember also the oft-quoted fact that we are 98% genetically the same as chimpanzees. Considering the vast differences between chimps and humans, this only goes to show how little genetics determines the characteristics we deem most human. In this article, I am placing pain in the real context in which we use the word, to discover what it really means. I contend that this meaning is so specifically human that applying it to animals is liable to lead to equivocation, i.e., one slips from talking about pain as we commonly understand it to a stripped-down mechanical definition.</description>

If i just paste the
[!body_photo!]
[!gallery!]

Into my content a white page turns up.

Moreover i dont know what to put in the tv&#039;s that i created, and they dont show up under the template !</description>

		<description>I think there&#039;s a difference, but I grant it may be a difference of degree.

The post is slightly misleading, because the great thing about Dorset really nutty muesli is, there is no dust!

Try hammering a nail with an oat - you can&#039;t do it can you?

		<description>Your hand and the luxury dorset cereals&#039; muesli box are physical. It may seem simple now, but you were not born with hammer-wielding intelligence. You will get the dust in your bowl in the end. Love the dust. Try smashing the muesli with a hammer to give a more even consistency.</description>
