I specifically chose that one because of your icon + username :) I've still got all the books I bought on my bookshelf.

Yeah, I know MS Word has a function to do it automatically but I had no idea if any other programs did. Still, it works :)

Yeah, I find my icon tends to bring out past or current Ani fans. Sadly, I don't have all the books anymore. I gave them away to AmeriCorps Sonoma Serves. I'm trying to collect them and am having a hard time with the last few because the popular ones from that time get really expensive to buy in decent condition.

I use LibreOffice, so, as long as something works (which it did!) I actually have MS Office since my computer runs both Mac and MS operating systems... But I haven't needed to use Microsoft OS (where MS Office is) since I passed my stats class. Someday when I have the time and energy I'll work on removing the boot camp partitioning on my hard drive.

(Also, your Animorphs icon: The art is from The Andalite Chronicles and it's an Andalite's iris, not a hawk. It's the Animorphs meeting Elfangor in the construction site in theory :3

/end geek moment)

It certainly does -- I've used that icon over at LJ a few times and gotten some nice responses/replies about it. I dislike throwing away books (my husband laughs when I cringe and shudder when someone cracks the spine of a book, folds down pages, or otherwise) so I have a lack of real space.

Regarding my icon: thanks! I've been wondering where the art originally came from; I found it years ago and it had no credit, note, or anything, so I just randomly guessed (I have the Andalite Chronicles, but not any of the pretty art I've seen some people have).
