INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Look up the menu online ahead of time and see if it included nutritional information. Chain restaurants often provide nutritional information online. See which items are lowest in sodium and plan to order those when eating out. See if the restaurant has any specifically low-salt items on the menu. Some restaurants may have a whole section for foods low in salt and sugar. Try politely requesting that you not have salt added to your food or that the cook cuts down on salt. Remember to be polite to wait staff. Say something like, "Is there any way I could request the food be prepared with less salt." If they oblige your request, say thank you. If you're ordering pizza or going to a pizza place, opt for ingredients that are lower in salt. Chicken and vegetables are generally the lowest salt items. Things like pepperoni and bacon tend to have a lot of salt. Cheese also contains a lot of salt. Request that the restaurant use cheese lightly. When eating out at Chinese or Indian restaurants, you often get salt on the side. Instead of asking for something like fried rice or flavored rice, request plain rice. Plain rice is usually much lower in salt. When eating at a sandwich place, order low salt options. Ham, pickles, and cheeses tend to have high salt. Instead, go for things like chicken, eggs, vegetables, and lower salt cheeses like mozzarella. You should also ask for light servings of condiments or request condiments on the side.

SUMMARY: Research before dining out. Request your food be prepared without extra salt. Choose low salt pizza options. Opt for plain rice. Select the right fillings in sandwiches.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Characters and their dialogue or actions typically follow the introduction and descriptive info which sets a scene.  They should be centered in all caps on the page with dialogue following on the line below.  To create a macro which will prepare you to input character names after writing scene description, repeat the same steps used to create a macro for description in MS Word 2013/2016, but:  a) after changing the indentation back to 0 during recording, press the space bar 22 times, then select the All Caps and b) name the macro 'Character' and assign it to F4. Be sure that the first thing done during recording is to skip down two lines.   After pressing Stop Recording, F4 will skip two lines down the page (thus bringing the cursor to the correct character name position) and capitalize. To create a dialogue macro for Word 2007, follow the directions for the description macro in Word 2007 but input the parameters outlined in the sub-steps above. In the bottom right corner of the Paragraph section, there’s a little icon.  Click it and a dialog box will open.  Set 1’’ indents before text and 1.5’’ after text under the Indentation section. In Word 2007, display the Developer tab.  At the top left of the Word window, there’s a multicolored button known as the Office button.  Click it and go to Word Options (at the bottom).  Under Popular, check “Show Developer tab in the Ribbon.” Type a name for the macro.  Since this macro is for dialogue, assigning the name “Dialogue” to this macro is a logical choice.  Ensure you’ve selected “All documents” at the bottom of the drop-down menu reading “Store macro in.”  Click the keyboard icon and assign the macro to F5.  Click “Assign” or press Enter, then click “Close.” In Word 2007, click Record Macro.  The button to record the macro is on the left side of the ribbon.  Store the Macro in the same place you stored the other macro you created, and name it “Description.”  Click the keyboard icon and assign the macro a button of your choice.  For example, maybe you want to use F5.  Click within the “Press New Shortcut Key” and then press the F5 button to assign this macro to F5. Hit Enter once on your keyboard to skip a line, then go into the Page Layout tab and move both indentations to 0.  Next, click on the Home tab.  In the bottom right corner of the Font section, select the little icon which opens the dialog box to open it.  Look under the Effects section, then select All Caps.  Click OK.  Click the View tab again.  Click Macros > Stop Recording.  F5 will now skip one line, utilize lowercase text, and prepare you to enter dialogue. In Word 2007, instead of clicking Macros > Stop Recording, press Stop Recording in the Developer tab.

SUMMARY: Create a macro for character names. Open the Layout tab (Page Layout tab in Word 2007) to set your margins. Click View > Macros > Record Macro. Look for a tape recorder icon next to your mouse.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you are looking for writing jobs, you should make your writing samples, resume and contact information easily accessible for potential employers. Build a website for yourself. It doesn’t have to be flashy or fancy, but it should represent yourself professionally. Take special care to ensure that you don’t have any spelling or grammatical errors. If you want to get hired as a writer, all of your writing should be meticulous, including the writing on your website. One of the first things that someone will do before hiring you for a job is search online for you. Make sure you are represented in a positive light by searching for yourself online. Then work to improve your online presence. People connect on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and others. These sites are great ways to cultivate personal and professional connections. A client may not be actively seeking out your services, but he might come across your material through a friend’s connection and decide to hire you. Getting your name out there is crucial for finding writing gigs. While many people may only promote themselves online, there are other ways to promote yourself. These “low-tech” ways may even reach people you aren’t reaching online, exposing you to more potential business. Try making a brochure, or attend a writer’s conference. You can also place ads in a local or regional newspaper or on Craigslist. It may be uncomfortable for you to talk about what a skilled writer you are. But if you want others to believe it, you need to tell them.  This doesn’t mean that you need to constantly talk about how great you are, but you need enough confidence to reassure a potential employer that you have the chops necessary to do a good job.

SUMMARY: Build a website for yourself. Make sure you have a positive online presence. Promote yourself on social media. Use other methods of promoting yourself. Talk about yourself.
