    I use "Justification" to have wonderful right-hand edges. Indeed, when using hyphenation, it creates jagged edges. Hyphenation creates an unprofessional, unreadable document. It is especially important not to have hyphenation when creating a book. One gets into widows and orphans -- ESPECIALLY with hyphenation. I don't like words hyphenated between pages? I am not sure I can think of an instance where hyphenation would be preferred. Thank you for your video.

    Does this method also allow for subfolders in each folder? Great tip!

  • @TheTechTrain
    @TheTechTrain2 күн бұрын

    Yes, you can, although you'd need to add some additional lines to the Excel sheet if that's how you were creating it. Let's say you have folders named 'A', 'B', and 'C', and inside each of those folders you wanted folders named 'Data', 'Images', and 'Assets'. Here's what you'd need: MD "Folder A\Data" MD "Folder A\Images" MD "Folder A\Assets" MD "Folder B\Data" MD "Folder B\Images" MD "Folder B\Assets" MD "Folder C\Data" MD "Folder C\Images" MD "Folder C\Assets" It is also possible to cut this down using a loop, like this: SET folders=A B C SET subfolders=Data Images Assets FOR %%F IN (%folders%) DO ( FOR %%S IN (%subfolders%) DO ( MD "Folder %%F\%%S" ) ) I hope that helps, but do feel free to ask anything else. (I'm looking forward to when the Discord server goes live and questions like this can be shared more easily).

Lots of new tutorial series on the way soon (including a whole new Scratch game tutorial). Plenty to keep you busy! But if you have any suggestions or requests, do let me know.

    How about how to find and replace text of only a certain colour in, not Word, but PowerPoint?! Also, does this folder trick work in Excel 2021?

  • @TheTechTrain
    @TheTechTrain4 күн бұрын

    The use of a spreadsheet to help with creating the batch file creation of folders isn't just limited to Excel - you could just as easily use Google Sheets. Normal search and replace in PPT would not be able to identify specific colours of text, but I imagine it might be possible to use VBA to achieve that. Quite a niche need though!

There are three Scratch courses available on my channel - this one, the Pacman game tutorial (kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZuhtLhrm7nge84.html&pp=gAQBiAQB) and the Platform game tutorial (kzread.info/dash/bejne/dKSEqsSapNq0eLA.html&pp=gAQBiAQB). Also... good news! I am returning to KZread, and have already recorded a heap of new videos which are currently scheduled to start going out from July 1st, and I have some great new courses, lessons, and series that I'm really excited about, so perhaps something new for you both to follow? If you have any questions or suggestions, do feel free to get in touch! Thanks again, and happy Scratching! 😊
