Template for a WhatsApp E-Library Locker document in WORD



Welcome to the WELL Document Template

All the documents that have been posted to a WhatsApp group since you joined are stored on your own phone. You can access the documents by clicking on the icon for the Group, then scroll and select Media, links and docs. Then choose Docs from the next option to see the files. I created this template layout during the Ouistreham project so that group members could view documents with layout that fits their phone screens without sideways scrolling. I settled on making PDFs to keep all the fonts correct. 

Your Document Library in WhatsApp

On your phone, go to WhatsApp and open one of your groups. Then click on the icon for the group. Click on Media, links and docs. Then Select Docs. 



Document Design for the WELL

I’ve been experimenting with the layout for a WORD doc that will share well and display well on ‘phones from the WhatsApp library of Docs. This file is my design so far; it has small pages for the screen and narrow margins to save space. I set these in Layout - Page Setup within Microsoft WORD.

I am using my WELL docs to try out parts of my travel story before I publish a more complete version to the magazine blog, here on TRAVEL WRITERS ONLINE.  

If you Save As the WELL document in WORD to create a PDF, then it will display well in WhatsApp. You can also create a public folder on Google Drive to store an archive of all your WELL documents, then post the link of the whole folder to your WhatsApp Group. This will provide all your group members with an up-to-date library of all the docs you have made.

1 Arrival

Ouistreham was now in plain view. I watched from the ferry as our vessel began its turn to meet the dock. The estuary of the Orne was traced out in sands and water. Slowly the lighthouse came into view and then moved across my field of vision. Someone was fishing alone, right out where the river met the sea, it made me think of the people Maigret tries to understand in the novel set in Ouistreham.

AI Detector

I've been looking at AI Detectors that are now stable and easy to use. The first one to write about is from a company based in Montreal, and so, as you would expect from that bilingual city, it works on English and French texts. It's called Winston AI. The AI detector tells you if written copy is generated by a human or an Artificial Intelligence text generator robot. It uses a graphic sliding scale. The software also detects plagiarism and presents a thorough list of any copied content it has found. As a user of Winston AI you just paste text into the quick scan option. You can upload bigger documents in the following formats: .docx, .pdf, .png and .jpg for the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) system to convert to electronic text from scanned documents or pictures. This also works on handwriting like Google Lens and the other handwritten text readers and convertors do. The Winston AI Detector works in projects, this lets you label or title pieces you are examining for plagi...

The Space in Mill Bay

Millbay, Saturday 3 August 2024 Samedi. A decade has passed since Sam Ferguson published his question* on the innovative story by André Gide, called, Paludes . In English that book title could be rendered as Swamps, or, Sourpool, perhaps. Plymouth's Sourpool is recorded in 1439 when the town's boundary was fixed during its incorporation as a Devon borough. The record reads ‘between the hill called Windy Ridge – by the bank of the Sourpool – against the north all the way to the great dyke otherwise called the great ditch’.  Damp, mossy, ferny, even swampy boundaries blurred the edges of the space we call Millbay today. Paludes occupies a critical point of experimentation in the trajectory of published diary-writing […] exploring the possible relationship of the diary with the literary œuvre, and its capacity for addressing philosophical and aesthetic questions. The pertinence of this experimentation to the modern field of life-writing makes this a suitable moment for anothe...
