I’m having this issue right now with Word 2008. No cross references in the PDF output. Argh.

It would appear you are correct Mr B. Reports of 152k iPads sold in a single weekend would certainly confirm so anyway.

Nope, but the good-karma vouchers are on the way.

It was your tip put me onto Dropbox in the first place.. Just been using it to co-author a paper with a colleague – shared folders between our Dropbox accounts. So it’s great for version-control too.

I’ve another twist to this having just invested in a supplemental Dell Mini 9 netbook for some Ubuntu development (which btw is a great bit of kit and runs Ubuntu like a DREAM..!), anyway, great it may be but with an 8GB SSD it’s not exactly spacious (which isn’t why I bought it anyway), so, with this post at the back of my mind I just installed DropBox to it and pointed the DB folder to my rather expansive 64GB SpaceLoop XL USB Pen Drive.”Job’s a Good ‘Un” as they say around there.

And, if I was REALLY wanting to get saucy I suppose I could use the SpaceLoop on the Air too, sign up for the 50GB package and sync away until the cows come home.

DropBox is great.

(PS – Do I get £10?)

Nice solution, I use DropBox regularly although for backup other than sync (at the moment). I wasn’t even aware there was a portable USB version, cool (although it would be even cooler if it wasn’t Windows specific – bah).

Cheers Rich. But I think that plug-in solves a different problem. I needed to make sure that URLs for non-WP pages now redirect to the new WP pages, this plugin solves the problem if you’ve moved WP pages across domains etc. and need to update the permalinks.

Have fun nosing around. I’ll get out the virtual paintbrush sometime later on, I hope. And thanks for the blogroll link!
