Where to start once I have my log section and workbook?
Please ensure that you read these information pages before transcribing

Thank you for your help

Hi, I'd like to apply work on Journey A of the logbook, please.

[ggordon]

Please specify the format you prefer: Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice.

[ggordon]

I'm currently using LibreOffice

Hello arboggs and 'thank you' Randi!

Please could I persuade you to be 'stream a' for section B please arboggs? Each log section comes in three streams (A, B, and C) for the three transcribers that need to work on it. Log book sections B & C have got the ice information in them and are much more valuable to us.

I'll drop you a personal message (pm) with a link to section B = let me know if you are happy to make that change of sections

Thanks for confirming that you are using LibreOffice.

I'll quickly drop you that link - I'm busy this afternoon (UK time) but I'll be back later to sort these out for you.

Thank you for offering to help - I hope you'll enjoy these journeys

[ggordon]

Sure, whichever section you need me on I'm happy to help!

[ggordon]

Fantastic - cheers arboggs - sorting that out right now.
