mona lisa's smile | 1418

pairing: fernando/lance

rating: teen and up

word count: ~7000

tags: pre-relationship, 2021 season, non-driver lance au

summary:

Two-time world champion. Robbed from his third. A villain’s making—a slow descent from glory, trajectory fixed on an unfulfilling end. Back from his sabbatical. Fernando Alonso.

director's cut:

don't let my ramblings influence ur interpretation of the fic!

these are my notes/reflection on the fic. they don't have to be urs. different minds can come to different conclusions that are equally fantastic!

mona lisa's smile is supposed to disappear when u view her directly, but out of ur peripheral, she is always smiling mysteriously (eerily). i thought it was fitting given the characterisation of lance and the facade he kinda keeps up in the fic

my obvious issue is that since it is an incomplete fic, the focus on lance and esteban's friendship overshadowed his developing one with fernando

i thought the risotto scene was corny, i'm glad people liked it

yes, it's written so that u can't really tell if someone's talking about something or somehow implying it or thinking it

i'm impartial to when people portray lance as having daddy issues and lawrence being a bad father. obviously i don't know jackshit about lance's relationship with his dad, but i wanted to depict it in a positive light this time around

whether or not scotty was going behind chloe's back with daniel is up to u. i couldn't decide whether he would or wouldn't so i left it vague

i don't know shit about ice hockey. i had to google who the canadiens were. they're not mentioned more because i couldn't be stuffed doing more research

i back read way too many articles about lawrence buying racing point, because i thought the dts portrayal was a bit inaccurate

lance and esteban do speak french when they're together so i'm glad i at least got that part of their characterisation correct

i actually started taking duolingo lessons for french because of this fic

the style is choppy on purpose because i hate grammar and tense

the line of 'offers security physically in the only way he knows how' is not implying that lance fucks este. i think lance often grabbing parts of himself to kinda subconsciously reassure himself, i tried to transfer that vibe into his friendship with esteban

to be clear, fernando does not give a shit about lance really until he meets him again when lance is like 20/21

the part that goes 'lance had watched from the grandstands that day. the crowd roared. he hadn't thought much of it' was actually regarding fernando's abu dhabi retirement donuts, and not him winning in spain in 2013

if misappropriating classical writing in my trashy fics was a crime, i would be on death row

at this point, it is not clear whether fernando is approaching lance as part of his El Plan or if he's genuinely interested in him

re: esteban and pierre possibly both being in renault. hindsight is a beautiful thing

fernando's "we are like lions. podiums soon" is another reference to the iliad. i wasn't sure if the implication was strong enough

i was originally going to scrap the 'must've misheard italian for indian' line because i wasn't sure if it would offend people

in the risotto scene, sebastian is actually oblivious as to what's happening. he's not pretending to be. he is fully unaware

my most despised line in this fic is: a son of a billionaire he may be, but a waster of food he is not. i think it's too cheesy and doesn't fit with the style of the fic. looking back now, i'm not sure why i kept it

i think the 'lance's lack of passion' character choice stems a lot from how f1 fans think lance is somehow detached from the sport and doesn't really care for it as much as, let's say, fernando or max, who are always very clearly enthusiastic about racing. it's probably also got something to do with lance's 'monotonous voice' that people like to complain about. it's ok, though, because lance is plenty expressive in his face and body language

fernando's post-race interview after his bahrain dnf is an amalgamation of some of the actual post-race interviews he's given

my favourite line in this fic is: Un jour, vous en ferez l'expérience. Cela fait battre votre cœur pour la première fois et votre cœur ne cessera de battre après. too bad it had to be in french

the ass-tap was inspired by the video of fernando congratulating lance after lance got p3 in the wet qualifying for brazil 2023 (i believe, need to double check on that)

the aston engineer is 100% suspicious about lance and fernando

thanks for putting urself through all of that!

I adore the snippet of your figure skating AU!! 😍I love all of the AUs you come up with for them!Sebchal and skating(particularly ice dancing) are two things near and dear to my heart. I know you said you’re hand waving a lot of things but I still have many questions: Are Charles and Seb partnering each other or is Seb supposed to be only a mentor/coach? Were Seb’s medals in ice dancing or in individual skating? Is Charles gonna be the “leading” partner since he is bigger (taller and heavier) or is Seb gonna have to lift him lol? Is this inspired by the show spinning out?(i loved that show!) ANYWAYS I already love the atmosphere you’ve created with just that little sneak peek. The tension and uncertainty from Charles’ pov is *chefs kiss*. Whether or not you finish it i think it’s very nice!!💕

Ahh, thank you so much for this lovely ask 🥺 I love chatting about fics and AUs and headcanons! 🥰

I had two ideas for a figure skating AU, actually: one where Charles is in singles and Seb's his ex-skater-turned-coach, and another one (less plausible but more self-indulgent) which is where they're paired up for ice dance. The skater/coach approach would've made more sense, but I've recently developed major brainrot for ice dancing in particular. As "research" I binged this mini docu-series on the official Olympics channel, On Edge, where they follow a bunch of ice dance couples training at the same academy in Montreal; showcasing their training, prep for competitions, costume fittings, stuff like that. It's really cool and I highly recommend it! I also binged this honestly ridiculously cheesy docu-series Tessa & Scott, which followed Virtue and Moir throughout the 2013 Grand Prix season as they prepared for the Olympics in Sochi. It was... very 2010s lol but it was interesting to see how things work "from the kitchen" and all the prep that goes into preparing a program.

I watched Spinning Out when it was first released, too! That must've been...early 2020, I think? And it was a lot of fun, though they were I believe pairs skaters so there were jumps and throws involved.

Anyway, back to the fic. I'm thinking Seb's medals were in ice dance. I like incorporating "canon" elements into AUs so I'm imagining Seb being at his peak in 2010 and 2014. In 2014 they also had the inaugural Team Event, so that's another medal. Maybe he narrowly missed out on an individual medal in PyongChang and the media's sort of picked up this "well he's washed up, he's done for" narrative from that point onwards. I was thinking his long-term partner (Hanna, maybe?) retires from the sport, and he's about to follow her into retirement, but then the Italian Ice Sports Federation decide to pair him with Charles in a last-ditch effort to try for another medal.

Speaking of Charles...Much like in F1, he's hailed as a generational talent. He's dominated the junior circuit and then won all he could win in senior competitions as well. In PyeongChang he became the first - and so far only - skater to land the mythical quadruple axel, but narrowly missed out on gold due to a mistake in one of his programs. I also fell down a rabbit hole of watching video essays on the whole Russian women's skaters controversy, and how brutally they're being coached and how unsustainable that level of constantly jumping quads really is, to the point where they're being forced to retire, often due to persistent injuries, at the ages of like 17-20, which is obviously insane. So anyway, Charles lands the quad axel but because of all the training he did to get there, he ends up with a back injury and is told not to perform any more jumps not to exacerbate the injury. Which, considering skating's obsession with jumping quads at the moment, essentially translated to his career in singles being over.

I'm also handwaving the citizenship requirements and just treating it more like F1 does, where you're "loaned out" to represent a certain country while under contract, and you have to meet certain residency requirements, but don't have to apply for citizenship. Anyway, after representing Monaco in singles Charles gets an offer from the Italian Federation to join Team Italy and skate with Seb. It's a tentative partnership, but they both know it's their only chance of trying to win another medal in the upcoming Olympic cycle. So here they are.

Oh, also, I almost forgot: yes this makes no sense and is totally self-indulgent but Seb’s the lifter sjdefjrgj Maybe he’s stronger than he looks! 🙈 And considering how complex some of the lifts are, I figured Charles would be insane enough to be like, “hey, let’s do this, I trust you, it’ll look cool.”

#replies #anonymous #sebchal anon #sebchal asks #*figure skating au intensifies*#this was honestly so lovely to read thank you so much for asking 🥺#i hope that clarifies things but you're more than welcome to jump into my inbox at any time <3 #.longpost

Best Formula 1 Books

When you’re looking for the best Formula 1 books to buy and read, one of the biggest problems you come across is that all the reviews are the same – copied and pasted from Amazon. Also, how do you know if the books you like are what the reviewer likes?

The Formula 1 books below have been read by me, not just copied and pasted from other listings. I like books that share stories, that get into the emotion of the subject and leave you feeling something. I’m not a facts and figures guys, so a book full of dates, cold facts, and specifications will have me putting the book back on the shelf half-read.

I like my books like I like my F1 – fast-paced and dramatic.

So if you’re like me, the below Formula 1 books will be for you…

The Best Formula 1 Books

Life to the Limit: My Autobiography by Jenson Button

This is actually my favourite Formula 1 book, which is why it is at the top of the list. When you read it, you can’t help but have the voice of Jenson Button in your head, which makes his jokes funnier (and this is a very funny book). While there is a lot of humour, often self-deprecating, the tone definitely takes a turn and you can’t help but be moved when Jenson talks about losing his father.

Some of the chapters are super short too, as in a handful of pages, so if you’re someone who likes to read before bed and has to finish at the end of a chapter, this book will make sure you get to bed at a reasonable hour.

Senna versus Prost

Before I read Jenson’s book, Senna versus Prost was my favourite.

Malcolm Folley has done a cracking job of creating a space for people to share their stories of Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in a way that instantly transports the reader back to those great battles of the 80s and 90s.

What’s even better is Folley speaks with a lot of team personnel, people in the background who we’ve not really heard of, and lets us know what it was really like to be on the ground as the battles took place out on the track.

So much has been made of Ayrton Senna over the years, that Prost’s version of events was somewhat overlooked – until now. And although he could have used the book as an opportunity to lay the boots into his rival, Prost does a brilliant job of relaying events as he saw them.

Le Professeur off the track as well as on it.

Murray Walker: Unless I’m Very Much Mistaken

Murray Walker is the voice of Formula 1. He has one of those voices that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when you’re watching an old race and his enthusiasm for F1 jumps through the speakers.

Some artists use paints, some use pencils, Murray Walker used a microphone.

Walker is a quintessential storyteller, so once again this is a book that you will most likely read in his voice. He tells vivid stories about growing up, his time in the war, all the way through to the Murray Walker we know from our TV screens commentating on Formula 1.

Known for the odd gaff in the commentary box, Walker isn’t shy about having a laugh with it, and understands it helped endear him to fans over the years.

Unless I’m very much mistaken, this is a must-read book that you will thoroughly enjoy.

Niki Lauda – The Biography

If a book about a man who had a horrific crash at the wheel of a Formula 1 racing car, was given the last rights, then was back on the grid a month later doesn’t move you, then nothing will.

Niki Lauda was a man of little fuss or sentiment, and Maurice Hamilton has written this book in much the same vein. Starting from Lauda’s early days growing up in a proper family who felt motor racing was beneath their station, to his racing years, to flying, and much more.

If there is to be one criticism of this book, it’s that it doesn’t go into a great deal of detail on his time with Mercedes. However, the vivid recollections of his racing days from people who witnessed it definitely make up for this.

The Unknown Kimi Räikkönen

The Unknown Kimi Räikkönen gives great insights into Kimi’s path to F1, his upbringing, and now the importance of time with his growing family.

If you’re looking for a book of anecdotes from Kimi’s time in the paddock, this book isn’t it.

But if you want to learn more about Kimi’s path to F1, his motivation for quitting the sport, and his motivation for coming back to it.

The photos he shares are excellent too.

Aussie Grit: My Formula One Journey

This is one that most Australian’s will love, as the Aussie legend shares anecdotes or ‘yarns’ from his time in F1 racing against some of the best drivers on the planet.

Those who remember the ‘Multi 21’ saga and breakdown in the relationship with Sebastian Vettel will like this book, as Webber gives his version of the events that unfolded in front of our eyes on race days.

A highlight of this book is Webber walking us through his personal struggles, as it’s not something often associated with the stoic Australian. This book is brutally honest in parts, and will give you a deeper appreciation of the man, not just the driver.

The Mechanic: The Secret World of the F1 Pitlane

Marc ‘Elvis’ Priestley was one the number one mechanic at McLaren, who as well as this book has an incredible YouTube channel where he shares his insights and analysis of Formula 1 regularly.

Simply put, his book needs to be on the bookshelf of every Formula 1 fan, it’s that good.

I’ll admit I’d never really thought about the pit crew. We see them for a few seconds each race, maybe more if something dramatic happens to one of their drivers.

This book takes us well and truly behind the scenes, into the life of partying and fast-living away from the track.

Priestley also shares a lot of secrets about the rivalries he was part of during his time in F1, which may make him a little unpopular with a few people…

Chequered Conflict: The Inside Story on Two Explosive F1 World Championships

You could be forgiven for thinking this book by Maurice Hamilton is the work of a family member of Lewis Hamilton, but it’s not. Maurice Hamilton is the author of amazing F1 history books on the likes of James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Jackie Stewart, Frank Williams, and more.

Grand Prix racing in 2007 and 2008 was an explosive affair between Ferrari and McLaren, and this book captures all the drama perfectly.

2007 was the first time since 1986 that three drivers had a chance of winning the title going into the final race, and this book puts you back on the edge of your seat again as you re-live this piece of F1 history.

The Mechanic’s Tale

This book by Steve Matchett is quite different to The Mechanic: The Secret World of the F1 Pitlane in that it is more about the author’s life, from trying desperately to break into the world of Formula 1. Although he’s not a racing driver, the struggles he faced are on par with some of the drivers mentioned in the books above.

Steve Matchett also shares a lot of his own eye-witness accounts of some of the greats such as Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna, and Michael Schumacher. Plus there is a lot on his time with Benetton which is great reading.

Flat Out Flat Broke: The Original Stig

When you think of Formula 1, names like Lewis Hamilton, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill and Jackie Stewart come to mind straight away, but what about Perry McCarthy? No? Didn’t think so.

McCarthy spent the 1992 Formula 1 season ‘racing’ for the Andrea Moda Formula team, but unfortunately, never qualified for a Grand Prix.

That hasn’t stopped him from writing a hilarious autobiography that has already become a motorsport best seller.

While he didn’t have much luck in F1, or in a lot of other things, McCarthy bounced back to become the first ‘Stig’ on TopGear.

If you want to share a story with someone you care about that will inspire them to chase their dreams and never give up, then this is the one to give them. They don’t even need to be a Formula 1 fan to enjoy this one.

Rules of the Game: Answer these question and tag 10 blogs you’d like to know better!

Tagged by @misskyoh, @meyymuh and @sebs-blue-eyes Thanks guys!

Nickname(s): Don’t have one.

Zodiac: Pisces.

Height: I´m 1,66 m.

Time: 16:30

Favorite band/artist: so many! But if I had to pick one, that would be Ivan Torrent.

Song stuck in my head: that would be my own song because I like making music too, but that’s just for fun.

Last movie I saw: probably LOTR, the extended version, because I got my DVD’s back. I used to re-watch it every year, but a friend was not returning my DVD’s for around five years???

Last thing I googled: john elkann.

Other blogs: the-eyes-of-seb (only gifs and good pics of Seb’s eyes, with an emphasis on his eyelashes :)), seikki (most of the pics and gifs and videos of Seb and his ex-physio of 2012-2013)

Why this username?: because I first started using tumblr looking for writing tips and inspirations.

Following: 53 (some are inactive since years...) I’m very picky, I don’t like too much stuff on my dash that is not Seb related. Recently started to be more careless with my following and unfollowing.

Average amount of sleep: 8 hours. Proud of myself. Going to bed early, getting up very early. Morning person.

Lucky number: not sure if something like that exists. luck is random.

What I’m wearing: dark trousers and a cosy sweater because it’s sweater weather.

Dream job: making music or writing would be awesome, but I have no self-discipline.

Dream trips: haven’t thought about it... Would like to go for a trip to an F1 race again, perhaps, but only if Seb is winning.

Favorite food: I like eating in general, Italian food is great. But I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Canadian people for the maple syrup. This shit is so good!

Instruments I play: piano/keyboard.

Eye color: brown.

Hair color: Light brown? Taupe? It’s a weird colour that’s very common in Poland.

Aesthetics: hmm, food, autumn, mountains, dogs... stuff like that.

Languages I speak: I usually write, I don’t speak :))) My native language is Polish, so I’m quite good with this one. I think English would be second. I understand German and Italian. Had 2 semesters of French but no, thanks, that’s too much.

Most Iconic song: I can’t choose.

Random fact: I’m a lefty. As in left-handed. :)

I tag (feel free to ignore, I often do): @v3tt3i, @inappropriatestork and @simibutton.

#thanks guys

Week 1 - The Creator Economy

This lecture was our first one back after the Christmas break, and within it we began to discuss the creator economy. We looked at what forms the creator economy and saw some previous examples of portfolio work that could be used for our assessments. We then listed our strengths and areas we were interested in as part of our ‘Creator Relatability Mapping’ that we could use in future sessions. My list was as follows:

Playing Piano - I play piano, and it is the main instrument I use for my music I release on streaming platforms (as JUST!JOSH).

Music Performance - I enjoy performing music, both as a solo artist, as well as in other settings such as bands, accompanists, musicals and improvisation

Composition - I love composing music, I want part of my career to be based around composition, as both TV/Film & Game’s composition, as well as other original instrumental work.

Music Arrangement - Arrangement is something I also really enjoy. I love creating instrumental sections to songs, and arranging my own versions of popular songs.

Eurovision - I am looking to become more involved within this area, as I have been a fan of the contest since 2013, and is an area I know a lot about.

Music Competitions - I enjoy music competitions and am looking to get involved with more like this in the near future.

Songwriting - This is an area of music I have only gained an interest in since lockdown, where I had time to develop some basic songwriting skills, but this is an area I am looking to develop further into the future.

Talking - I enjoy talking, mostly because I can’t help but waffle half the time, but I think it is a skill that I can put to good use through areas such as podcasting, radio and interviews

Meditation/ASMR/Binaural Beats - Have gotten into this over the last 2 years (and properly over the last few months) due to my Heart Arrhythmia caused by my Vagus Nerve misfiring (which I use to calm down & stop being as energetic), but the whole mediation and music therapy is something I want to invest more time into.

Football - I am a massive football fan, and I love watching and playing football. I have a long history of playing, including 2 appearances at The World Youth Cup. I would love to re-involve myself within football over the coming years.

Tennis - I both enjoy playing and coaching tennis. I am a Level 2 qualified Tennis Coach (having coached both voluntarily and paid since I was 11), and I currently play for the Uni’s Men’s 2nd Team.

F1/Motorsport, Handball, Cricket, Badminton - These are all sports I enjoy watching. I love watching sports in general, however these are the other main sports I enjoy watching other than Football & Tennis.

Music Teaching - I love teaching music, I have run music workshops in the past whilst at college, and I am looking to start teaching private music lessons on piano (and possibly keyboard) asap.

Video Games - I really enjoy (watching) video games, especially on sites such as YouTube and I was videos on games such as FIFA, Minecraft and other games to relax.

Podcasts - Over the last few months, I have really become interested in podcasts and podcasting, hoping to start my own into the future.

Comedy - I love comedy, I will always watch it when I feel in a bad mood, or when I want to relax with lunch or before bed.

Drinking - I’m a university student, this one is self-explanatory.

There are many other aspects that I enjoy, both in and out of music, however these are most of the main ones. We were also asked to read a document ready for next week’s lecture.

Off the back of this I started looking at ideas for my portfolio. After creating a podcast mini-series in the previous semester, I knew it was something I wanted to do more of. I had previously been researching into the idea of creating a Eurovision themed podcast, as I was interested in Eurovision, however I quickly discovered that I wouldn’t be able to do it as it would be too much effort alongside my studies. But, due to the nature of this module, I am able to go ahead with the idea. I decided I would spend this week conducting further research into the idea of creating a long standing weekly podcast series.

F1 Challenge 99-02 Mod 1994 Download

F1 Manager Professional is the successor of F1 Manager, keeps its main structure and offers subtle changes in the game mechanics. It is still a managerial game which simulates a racing team in the Formula One.

One part of the team success lies in the financial side. Money is gained by getting companies to sponsor the team and by getting good results in the races. The budget limits the quality of the driver and the other employees. Besides the driver the most important part of the athletic success comes from the used car. Like in the real world it needs to be constantly evolved and tuned. If the player doesn't want to do this part himself he can hire engineers which take this job on. This part of the game is played in several menus in a 1st person view which are reached by a main menu.

The actual race is shown in real time and 3D and can be watched with several camera angles. There the player can see if his preparations and pit stop strategies were useful. The preparations are optimisations referring to the course and the expected weather, e.g. using the right tires or fuel. Pit stop strategies can be changed during the race.

During the multiplayer mode the time which every player has to his disposal can be chosen freely. The game has no official licenses so all names are alienated but can be changed with the editor. Registered owners of the predecessor can buy an upgrade version for less money.

F1 Manager Professional is an excellent, comprehensive, and highly underrated F1 manager game by German developer Software 2000. The game lets you control every aspect of F1 team management, from manufacturing and financing, to race performance and even merchandising. Getting ahead in F1MP requires a skillful combination of business savvy and engineering know-how, because your goal is not only to take your team to the top, but also to make money while doing so.

A more advanced and improved version of Software 2000's earlier F1 Manager, this Professional version uses a user-friendly and intuitive icon-driven interface to navigate through the literally hundreds of menus, charts, models, and diagrams that give you all the information you need to plan an effective business and race strategy. There is a lot of text and variables you need to grasp, especially in the design and testing of race car models. The game uses excellent SVGA resolution to present all the menus and the actual racing action in flawless detail, down to the sponsor's advertising and background scenery. Beneath the polish lies an incredibly deep simulation that is sure to appeal to both the hardcore business simulation crowd and die-hard F1 fans. If you enjoy the likes of Grand Prix Manager but don't want to deal with business aspects, you can toggle off many micromanagement details that limit the game's scope. You can also choose from multiple difficulty settings and change most other variables that affect the game to suit your preferences and skills. This excellent customizability F1MP should appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers alike. All in all, F1MP is one of the most underrated titles you will ever come across - not only as a F1 manager sim, but even as a business simulation in general. If you are interested in professional sports management and want to play something a little different from the many soccer managers on the market, you definitely have to take a look at F1 Manager Professional.

F1 Management Professional is a strategy/simulation hybrid that challenges the user to manage, from the ground up, a Formula 1 racing team. German developer Software 2000 added this great sports game to the list of sports simulations in the late nineties.

To begin with, F1 Management Professional has an extended learning curve due to the high attention to detail required to succeed in the game. A user could play for years and still find new things to do and challenges to meet. Obviously, the game has great replay ability for that reason. It is very complex and users looking for an imitation of Pole Position or some other basic driving game need not apply here.

The goal of F1MP is the same as most games of this nature. The user's team must be successful in order to make more money. More money can be used to make the user's team still more successful. Some of the decisions that are place in the user's hands include: choosing a capable pilot for the car; testing different styles of car; enhancing the performance of the car through mechanical knowledge; manufacturing merchandise; and otherwise financing the team and the car. In order to be at all successful in F1MP, the user must not only have some business knowledge, but because he also does the job of the crew chief he needs to have some engineering skills, as well.

F1 Challenge 99-02 Mod 1994 Download Torrent

With such a complex system to learn, one might fear F1MP would present an insurmountable challenge, but the developers included a wonderfully intuitive and manageable user interface that takes you through each aspect of micromanagement cleanly and clearly. The interface is icon driven and presents all the charts, business models and other information very nicely. Moreover, for those gamers who are not seeking such a hardcore micro managerial experience, many of the game's aspects can be toggled off to become non-factors, making the game much simpler.

In short, F1 Management Professional is a great upgrade from F1 Management. The graphics are bright and colorful! At its finest, this game is a challenge and fun one, at that. Any sports or business simulation fanatic is going to love F1 Management Professional. I highly recommend downloading it!

How to run this game on modern Windows PC?

Word For Mac 2016 Font Issues Jan 2018

Word For Mac 2016 Font Issues Jan 2018 Printable Calendar

We never share your email address with anyone - never have, never will. Privacy Policy.

After the drawing opens, the command line feedback shows a substituted font(s), such as 'Substituting [simplex.shx] for [archquik.shx]' and when looking at the Text Style dialog box, the font is indicated as missing. Note: In some drawings, the text will disappear because of missing fonts.

I know talking about styles in Word makes eyes glaze over but they are a really useful part of Word (plus Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook).

Today I watched an ‘experienced’ Word user reformatting a document. He laboriously worked through the document, selecting paragraphs, phrases and even individual words then clicking on the ribbon to change the look. It took 10 minutes or more. With styles it would have taken a few seconds.

Authors using Word for Mac 2016 will need to read the Word for Mac2016 User Guide. We have created video documentation to help you through tagging document header, body, and references. We've also provided a video which walks you through the template validation process.

If the font for Heading 1 is changed then the font for Heading 2 will also change due to style inheritance. In a standard Word document, styles can usually be traced back to some base Word styles like Normal and Default Paragraph Font (paragraph and character styles respectively).

Microsoft Word vs Apple Pages review Which is the best word processing option for iPad and iPhone: Microsoft Word or Apple Pages? Our Pages vs Word review tests both iPad and iPhone text editors.

There are typically 2 factors that might create this result. The first is that you do not have WORD set to use the Adobe PDF printer when you are printing (though I do not think this is the issue).

Re: Font spacing goes haywire when Word document is saved to PDF Bill@VT Sep 4, 2011 2:19 AM ( in response to ghumdinger ) Try changing to the press or print job settings before creating the PDF.

Styles have been around for all of Word’s history. They have changed and expanded over the years but the fundamentals are the same.

In this article we’ll explain the different types of styles including at least one that sneaked in without many people noticing. From just one type in the early days of Word, there’s five different style types in Word 2007, Word 2010 and Word 2013.

What is a Style?

A style is a collection of formatting instructions put under a single name.

For example ‘Heading 1’ has these default values in Word 2013 (choose Heading 1 style, right-click and choose ‘Modify Style’.

So ‘Heading 1’ means Cambria font, 14pt, Bold with a color setting, Left justified, 1.15 line spacing and 24pt line space before the text, plus other settings.

Instead of having to apply all those separate formatting options for each main heading, just apply the ‘Heading 1’ style.

Even better, if you decide to change the look of the headings, change the ‘Heading 1’ settings and all the headings with that style will be changed automatically.

Paragraph and Character styles

There are different types of style that can be applied to different parts of a document. Originally there were only Paragraph styles – styles you could apply to an entire paragraph.

That was OK but no help if you wanted consistent formatting for words in a paragraph like a product name Office-Watch.com or just emphasis.

So Microsoft added character styles. These are styles that can be applied to a word or even a single letter. A character style could be called ‘Product Name’ to ensure all references to a product or service look consistent.

Character styles have all the attributes of paragraph styles that are applicable to individual characters. Things like font, size, color, bold, italic etc are in both character and paragraph styles. Line spacing, Left/Right/Center/Justify etc. can only apply to entire paragraphs.

Adding character styles created a new problem. Microsoft discovered that users sometimes had two styles with the same name – one as a paragraph style, the other as a character style. Or people would have two styles such as ‘QuoteP’ and QuoteC’ with the same settings, one for paragraphs and another for word/characters.

Linked styles

So Word 2007 introduced ‘Linked Styles’ which act as both a paragraph style and character style, depending on the situation.

A linked style acts like a paragraph style when a paragraph/s is selected and the style applied.

It acts like a character style when less than a paragraph (a character/word/phrase) is selected and the style applied.

Gone is the need for ‘twin’ styles – now you can have a single style that can applied to any text in a document.

The best example of a linked style is already in Word 2007 or later. All the Heading styles were changed to linked styles. Here’s an example of ‘Heading 1’ style used as both a paragraph and character style at the same time.

Both the paragraph and words were changed to the same style by selecting them and pressing the ‘Heading 1’ shortcut Ctrl + Alt + 1 . The Style Gallery or styles list could have been used to do the same thing.

In the Modify Style dialog you’ll see the style type just under the name.

‘Linked’ isn’t the best choice of terms for this type of style. Most styles are already ‘linked’ to others through style inheritance. ‘Merged’ or ‘Combined’ might have been clearer to most people – but we’re stuck with ‘Linked’.

Which is which?

On the styles list, the three types of style have their own markers.

The lower case ‘a’ next to a character style.

The ‘backwards P’ or Pilcrow is used as an end of paragraph mark in Word and also serves to denote a Paragraph style.

The combined pilcrow and a is, unsurprisingly, for a linked style.

Fully up-to-date with coverage of the May 2019 major update of Windows 10.

This918 page book shows you important features and details for all serious Windows 10 users.

Alas, the Style Gallery on the ribbon isn’t as clear. Among various (ignored) complaints about the Style Gallery is the inconsistent marking.

Paragraph styles (e.g. Normal, Pictures etc.) have the pilcrow next to the style name.

Linked paragraphs (Heading styles etc.) have no marking next to the name.

But neither do the character styles! In the above image there’s no way to know that ‘Subtle Emphasis’ is a character style.

Inheritance

A brief mention of style inheritance.

Styles are normally based on an existing style so only changes from the inherited style need to be made. This lets you apply broader changes to a document a lot faster.

For example, here’s settings for Heading 2

Heading 2 is based on the Heading 1 style, so all the settings for Heading 1 are linked into Heading 2 as a starting point.

The settings like ’13pt, Not Bold …’ etc. are only the differences between Heading 1 and what’s been changed to the look for Heading 2.

If the font for Heading 1 is changed then the font for Heading 2 will also change due to style inheritance.

In a standard Word document, styles can usually be traced back to some base Word styles like Normal and Default Paragraph Font (paragraph and character styles respectively). However you can create a style ‘from scratch’ with no inheritance. Here’s the same Heading 2 style with the ‘Style based on’ removed.

Now you can see all the formatting attributes in detail.

Unlinking styles might seem like a good idea that makes things simpler, but experienced Word users almost never do it. Style inheritance can be a nuisance at times, but its more helpful than a hindrance.

What’s going on?

Sometimes the formatting can get confusing. What’s a paragraph setting, what’s a character style and what is directly applied with no style? WordPerfect had a ‘Reveal Codes’ feature which Microsoft resisted copying but finally added to Word.

There’s two options for exposing what Word is up to. The Style Inspector (Word 2007 and later) and Reveal Formatting. Here’s both in action side-by-side.

As you can see the Style Inspector is a small box that can be dragged around the screen. Open the Style Inspector from the button at the bottom of the Styles pane:

Reveal Formatting has a lot more detail and sits in the right-hand pane. There’s a button for Reveal Formatting on the Style Inspector box.

The Shift + F1 shortcut will open the Reveal Formatting pane. This shortcut has worked since Word 2002 (XP).

Table and List styles

Also added in Word 2007 were two more styles.

Table styles, let you group together all the many formatting options for tables.

Similarly, all the options for list formatting were a nightmare until Word 2007 when List Styles were introduced. Now all the, sometimes complex, choices for lists (numbering, indenting at each level) can be more easily and consistently applied.

Symptoms

Word For Mac 2016 Font Issues Jan 2018 Calendar

When you use Microsoft Office programs, you notice that visual features differ from one computer to another. For example, you see animations in Excel when you scroll through a worksheet on one computer, but you do not see the same animations on another computer.

Additionally, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms that reduce the functionality of an Office program:

Quark 2016 Font Issues

An Office program is blurry.

Your screen flickers or flashes.

An Office program is either mostly all white or all black.

Text in your document is not displayed well.

Your Office program crashes.

The performance of an Office program (other than startup and shutdown) is reduced.

In Microsoft Lync, there may be video delays or slowness when you are on a video call.

Cause

You may experience these symptoms if you have a video configuration on your computer that is incompatible with the Office feature set that is responsible for displaying the application and for animations in the application.

Office 2013 and later versions use a more efficient and accelerated method to draw the Office UI and the content. This includes relying on hardware acceleration, which is managed through the operating system. The hardware acceleration function of the operating system relies on up-to-date and compatible display drivers.

Note Hardware acceleration that uses the video card is always disabled when Office is running in a Remote Desktop session, and also when the application is started in safe mode.

Resolution

The resolution varies depending on your version of Windows and the symptom you are experiencing.

For the symptom: Poorly Displayed Text in Office Documents

If your symptom is 'Poorly Displayed Text in Office Documents,' try the following solutions first. Otherwise, skip to the next section titled All Other Symptoms.

Step 1: Use the 'ClearType Text Tuner' Setting

Search for ClearType.

Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8: On the Start Screen, search for ClearType.

Windows 7: Click Start, and then enter ClearType in the Search Programs and Files box.

Select Adjust ClearType Text.

In the ClearType Text Tuner, enable the Turn on ClearType option, and then click Next.

Tune your monitor by following the steps in the ClearType Text Tuner, and then click Finish.

If you are still experiencing a problem after you adjust the ClearType settings, go to Step 2.

Step 2: Disable the Sub-Pixel Positioning Feature

Word 2016 and Word 2013 use sub-pixel text rendering by default. While this provides optimal spacing, you may prefer the appearance of pixel-snapped text for a minor improvement in contrast. To disable the sub-pixel positioning feature in Word 2016 or Word 2013, follow these steps.

On the File tab, click Options.

Click Advanced.

Under the Display group, clear the Use the subpixel positioning to smooth fonts on screen option.

Click OK.

If you are still experiencing a problem after you turn off the sub-pixel text rendering setting, re-enable the Use the subpixel positioning to smooth fonts on screen setting, and then go to Step 3.

Step 3: On Windows 7 clients, install the Windows 8 Inter-operatibility Pack

If you are using Windows10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, skip this section and go to the steps under the For All Other Symptoms section.

If you are using Windows 7, install the update for improving video-related components that is available in the following Knowledge Base article:

2670838 Platform update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

If the previous steps did not resolve the 'Poorly Displayed Text in Office Documents' symptom, continue to troubleshoot your issue by using the steps in the next section.

For all other symptoms

Update your video driver

The best way to update your video driver is to run Windows Update to see whether a newer driver is available for your computer.

To run Windows Update based on your version of Windows, follow these steps:

Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 8

On the Start Screen, click Settings on the Charms Bar.

Click Change PC Settings.

In the PC settings app, click Windows Update.

Click Check for updates now.

If updates are available, click the driver that you want to install, and then click Install.

Windows 7

Click Start.

Type Windows Update in the Search programs and files box.

In the search results, click Check for updates.

If updates are available, click the driver that you want to install, and then click Install.

If your video-related problems in Office were fixed by when you updated your video driver, you do not have to take any further steps. Go to step 2 if updating the video driver does not fix the problems.

Note

Word For Mac 2016 Font Issues Jan 2018 Printable Calendar

Video card manufacturers frequently release updates to their drivers to improve performance or to fix compatibility issues with new programs.If you do not find an updated video driver for your computer through Windows Update and must have the latest driver for your video card, go to the support or download section of your video card manufacturer's website for information about how to download and install the newest driver.

More Information

Automatic disabling of hardware acceleration for some video cards

By default, hardware acceleration is automatically disabled in Office programs if certain video card and video card driver combinations are detected when you start an Office program. If hardware acceleration is automatically disabled by the program, nothing indicates that this change occurred. However, if you update your video card driver and it is more compatible with Office, hardware acceleration is automatically reenabled.

The list of video card/video driver combinations that trigger this automatic disabling of hardware graphics acceleration is not documented because the list is hard-coded in the Office programs and will be constantly changing as we discover additional video combinations that cause problems in Office programs. Therefore, if you do not see the same animation functionality on one computer that you see on another computer, we recommend that you update your video driver by using the instructions provided in the 'Update your video driver' section. If you still do not see the expected animation on your computer, update your video driver again soon. Microsoft is working with the major video card manufacturers on this issue, and these video card manufacturers will be releasing new video drivers as such drivers are developed.

Note

If two computers have the same video card/video driver combinations, you may still see a difference in the Office animation features between the two computers if one computer is running Windows 7 and the other computer is running Windows 8. On a computer that is running Windows 7, animations in Office are disabled if the video card/video driver combination appears on the incompatibility list. However, the same video combination on Windows 8 does not have animations disabled because of the improved video capabilities in Windows 8.

F1 Re-Watch 2013: Round 14 - South Korea

It's Winter break and I am FINALLY picking back up my 2023 watch through (given how it's December, I probably won't finish this before 2024, but that's okay!).

This is another one I watched live at the time at my friend's house, and my main memory apart from Seb winning is Mark Webber's car having an alternator failure and then going on fire (right after his Singapore last lap DNF which, ouch) and Nico Rosberg having a very sparky front wing. iirc Jenson had an alright race and scored points, though I cannot recall how Lewis did, so let's jump in!

Once again saying how much of a core memory the old F1 intro is

and also asking why can't F1 provide alternate commentary options, why must Crofty and Brundle be forced upon us 😭

On a more practical note, I never knew why this race was officially called the Korean GP instead of the South Korean GP

But Yeongam was a fun track even if the layout looked a bit odd.

Alrighty: Starting grid whiplash time! SEWIS FRONT ROW!!!! (this is for meeeeee) Grosjean P3 and Rosberg P4 Jenson P11 and Jev down in P16

[Formation Lap]: Almost everyone on the super soft tyres apart from Ricciardo who's on the mediums

and immediately cut to the mad rush of mechanics and engineers running back to the garages

huh, so today I learned that no one is allowed to sit on the pitwall at the race start in case there's an on-track incident. I really feel like I should have known this before now 😅

[Start/Lap 1]: Seb has in Seb fashion just shot off into the distance

CARNAGE

One of the Ferrari's got tagged, someone else span round, turn 3 was like a dodgems rink

right before all that happened Grosjean overtook Lewis and is in P2

[Lap 2]: But Seb is already 2 seconds ahead of P2. Just GOAT things.

[Lap 3]: Now 2.6 seconds 👑 (When Seb dominates in a Red Bull it's sexy, when anyone else does the same it's not - hope that helps x)

The Top 5 after the lap 1 nonsense is Seb, Grosjean, Lewis, Nico R and Hulkenberg.

[Lap 4]: Jenson has minor front wing damage 😭

ooh cut to Raikkonen and Ricciardo scrapping over 7th

and now Jenson has to come in for a new front wing 😭😭😭

it's apparently affecting his brake temps, fml

Okay start replay: oh my days the field was five wide before the braking zone for turn 3 no wonder that there was dodgems.

[Lap 6]: I'm starting to wonder if I mis-remembered Nico's front wing failing and sparking along the track. I'm sure it was at this Korean GP bc I remember my friend being so upset over it

[Lap 7]: JENSON FASTEST LAP!!!!!!!

Though this was years before getting the fastest lap was worth a point, but it's worth a point in my heart

[Lap 8]: Cars starting to make their first pit stops

[Lap 9]: Back to Seb fastest lap, he's over three seconds ahead of P2

Meanwhile Lewis just got told to push before his first stop

[Lap 10]: And in he comes for stop number 1! Super softs off for Mediums, he comes out in P9

So according to Ted the two stop is actually quicker, but the cars that have stopped already are likely going to have to do the three stop. inch resting.

[Lap 11]: And saying that, Grosjean comes in to cover Lewis, and comes out juuuust ahead

[Lap 12]: And in comes Seb! Also putting on the mediums

but we need to cut back to the Lewis & Grosjean battle bc it was getting spicy

And a Lewis fastest lap for funsies 🥰

[Lap 13]: He's now 8 tenths behind Grosjean

[Lap 16]: Hmm, there is not much happening

I am enjoying watching the cars go round though, but then again that's just me 😅

Saying that, Hulkenberg is leading a train of Alonso, Raikkonen and Webber from 6th-9th.

oh it's a DRS train before we called it a DRS train

[Lap 18]: And Rosberg gets past Ricciardo for 4th

[Lap 20]: Jenson, who's in P9, is apparently not having a fun time with his tyres

Meanwhile Fernando is trying very hard to break through past Hulkenberg

sadly it's not happening

[Lap 22]: And *another* Seb fastest lap

I do love it when he collects them like pokemon

[Lap 23]: Jenson pits again :(

tbf it would be very on brand for me to deliberately forget if Jenson had a bad race

[Lap 24]: Breaking News: Fernando has still not gotten past Hulkenberg

I am starting to remember this part of the race and I'm pretty sure Hulkenberg does end up finishing in 5th

"Right front is destroyed" "I've been through the graining phase, and it's dead" the precursors to 'Bono my tyres are gone'. Lewis also sounds painfully done on the radio 😭😭😭

[Lap 26]: and there's a somewhat stranded Force India in the barriers.

oof Di Resta had a slow spin into the barriers after getting on the kerbs

[Lap 28]: Meanwhile Lewis is painfully slow compared to everyone else

Ah ha! There's Rosberg's front wing failure (not that I was wishing ill on him, more well done me for remembering correctly)

He was about to pass Lewis on the straight when the nose of the car just dropped down.

And it is now trailing on the ground putting sparks everywhere

[Lap 29]: So either by choice or circumstance Lewis wasn't able to get past Nico while he was driving slowly with his borked front wing.

"When are you gonna call me in man these tyres are fucked?" Lewis' very not fun Korean GP

[Lap 30]: and he FINALLY pits for another set of mediums

the race is 55 laps long so he should in theory make it to the end

[Lap 31]: FUCK Perez's tyre just failed

I do NOT want anymore Silverstone flashbacks, that was not fun

The whole tread of the tyre just ripped itself off the canvas while he was going down the straight, NOT GOOD

[Lap 32]: Very understandably we have a safety car

"And Pirelli are here to inspect the remnants of their tyre, not that there is much" Ted Kravitz committing murders live on air since 2013.

Well I have to say that certainly spiked up my blood pressure, it's the fact that Perez just happened to be in the camera shot when it happened.

[Lap 33]: So while we have the SC, the current top 5 is: Seb, Grosjean, Raikkonen, Lewis and Hulkenberg

[Lap 34]: Cut to a probably quite stressed Pirelli engineer in the Merc Garage looking over someone's shoulder

[Lap 35]: Shoutout to Webber, who had to pit again for running over the debris from Perez's car so dropped down to P11, and was given a set of super softs because Red Bull did not have any mediums left

You can see why he went over to WEC

[Lap 36]: And we're back racing!

[Lap 37]: Thankfully for my nerves all clean through turns 1 and 2

...

and then there was turn 3

Sutil divebombed into Webber, who's car is now on fire.

Don't cut to the depressed RBR mechanics 😭

also WHERE ARE THE FIRE MARSHALLS?!

okay there they are

oh now we have Lotus on Lotus violence

and.... there's a fire car on the track??????

aaaaand safety car again.

[Lap 38]: Well... Lap 37 chose far, far too much violence

That was certainly a sequence of events

right before all that happened, Hulkenberg overtook Lewis for P4

so I'm not having a fun time

[Lap 39]: Good news: they put out Webber's car, bad news: it looks like a wreck

iirc Japan was seven days after Korea so yeah, a very not fun time for the mechanics who needed to fix that

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium — Sebastian Vettel made a crucial early overtaking move on Lewis Hamilton to win the crash-marred Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday and trim his rival’s overall lead.

Hamilton started from pole position for a record fifth time at Spa, and a record-extending 78th in Formula One, with Vettel second on the grid.

But Vettel has a knack for quick starts, and nudged his Ferrari past Hamilton’s Mercedes on the first lap with a smart move down the left.

“I had a great start. I knew my chance would come,” Vettel said. “Timing is crucial and I managed that perfectly I thought.”

It came moments after Fernando Alonso’s McLaren flew through the air and landed on top of Charles Leclerc’s Sauber. Leclerc, unharmed, was likely spared a head injury by the protective halo device surrounding the cockpit area of F1 cars.

Vettel finished about 12 seconds clear of Hamilton, with Red Bull driver Max Verstappen an impressive third after starting seventh.

Vettel’s 52nd career win closes the gap to Hamilton to 17 points heading into next weekend’s Italian Grand Prix at Monza — Ferrari’s home.

Montreal’s Lance Stroll finished 13th.

Moments after his victory, Vettel removed his steering wheel and held it aloft, almost like a trophy, as he stood on his car to celebrate. Then he jumped into the arms of his mechanics and grabbed a Ferrari flag. With eight races remaining, it was a crucial win to halt Hamilton’s momentum.

It also moved Vettel one ahead of four-time F1 champion Alain Prost for third in all-time wins behind Hamilton (67) and Michael Schumacher (91).

“He drove past me like I wasn’t even there on the straight,” Hamilton said, expressing concern for Ferrari’s greater speed. “Congratulations to Seb.”

Hamilton’s teammate Valtteri Bottas, starting near the back after being penalized for too many engine changes, overtook Sergio Perez late on to place fourth.

Vettel’s Ferrari teammate, Kimi Raikkonen, and Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo both retired.

Hamilton initially held his lead, but Vettel overtook him sharply as they headed onto the Kemmel Straight. Vettel then held off Perez, who had jumped up from fourth to third by overtaking his Racing Point Force India team teammate Esteban Ocon.

The heavy crash at the start happened when Hulkenberg bumped into the back of Alonso, sending Alonso’s McLaren spinning and then flying up in the air.

It led to a safety car coming out on track.

Under safety car rules, drivers have to hold position and are not allowed to accelerate.

Starting from sixth place, Raikkonen lost his rear right tire after being clipped by Ricciardo — who retired later after running a lap down because of time he lost while his team repaired the damage on his car picked up during the chaotic start.

Vettel has been sloppy recently, crashing in the rain while leading the German GP and then losing position in qualifying for the Hungarian GP, once again in the rain.

This time the rain stayed away, and Vettel looked more composed.

When the race re-started, on lap 4 of 44, the German driver smartly blocked an overtaking attempt by Hamilton.

“I had a great re-start, I kept it clean,” Vettel said. “After that it was a very smooth race.”

Verstappen, meanwhile, displayed his usual slick overtaking by getting past Ocon and making light work of catching Perez to move into third — delighting the orange-clad Dutch fans congregated around the 7-kilometre (4.3-mile) Spa track nestled in the Ardennes forest.

Raikkonen was the previous Ferrari driver to win here, back in 2009, but his quest for a first F1 win since the season-opening Australian GP in 2013 ended with a mechanical failure on lap 9 — the third time the Finnish driver has failed to finish this season.

Up ahead, his teammate led Hamilton by 3.5 seconds at the halfway stage, when Hamilton pitted for new tires.

Vettel came in moments later and his stop was clean enough to see him regain the lead, but only a narrow 1.3 seconds ahead of Hamilton.

Ferrari’s greater speed on the straights helped him pad that advantage out within a few laps, and he coasted home.

Both drivers have five wins this season as they seek to win a fifth F1 title and move level with Argentine great Juan Manuel Fangio, and move within two of Schumacher’s all-time record.
