September 16[edit]

multiple references sections in Word[edit]

Hello. I know I can use Word's References tab to generate citations and then group them into a linked References section. But this is always placed at the end of the document. How do I create a references section for just one chapter of the document? I have a doc with references at the end of each of five sections and need to add a references section to the sixth (which is chapter three) and just can't figure out how to make it happen. Many thanks for help. 184.147.132.209 (talk) 14:34, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Word places footnotes at the end of each page and endnotes at the end of the document. On the References tab you can select endnote or footnote. -- Gadget850^talk 13:54, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Gadget850 but I do not want footnotes at the end of the page but endnotes at the end of a chapter (several pages) partway through the document.184.147.132.209 (talk) 12:36, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

VPN - Cisco AnyConnect[edit]

Hi, I'm using the Cisco AnyConnect product for a few services that I use that are authorized through a university. I have two main use cases:

Connecting to university license servers to allow my local copy of Matlab to run (this is automagical from my perspective, Matlab just balks when it can't do what it wants).
Using university IP range access to use things like OED online, get journal articles, etc.

There are two modes: I can connect in "tunnel all" and "split tunnel" - the split tunnel is nice, because it allows my Matlab to get to the license servers, but doesn't force normal web traffic through university servers. The frustrating part is this: I'm currently logged in to a "split tunnel" session, and I want to look at the OED. To do this, I have to (manually) log out of the split tunnel session, then start a new session to tunnel all traffic, then log out of that, then log in again to a split tunnel to get back to where I started. As you can imagine, this is tedious and seems like it should be avoidable.

Question: Is there a way I can configure certain domains/ urls to always go through the split tunnel, without sending all browser traffic through the tunnel? I've looked at official documentation here [1] [2], but I'm not finding an answer, and, maddeningly, it refers to all sorts of menus that aren't in my OSX VPN client's GUI... (I also know that I can try to talk to support personnel at said university, but they are not always responsive) Any help is appreciated, thanks!

You can probably do this on an IP-address basis using the route command from a terminal window, as described here. You will have to look up the IP address(es) of the OED servers using, e.g., nslookup. -- BenRG (talk) 01:24, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, sounds like a good lead! The IT help people were responsive this time, they simply told me "that is not supported" :-/ SemanticMantis (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tumblr[edit]

I recently learned of the existence of Tumblr. Call me old-fashioned or whatever, but it was only recently. Now on to my question. Most of the Tumblr pages I go to just scroll down endlessly, using JavaScript to handle the page navigation. Very few others actually have separate HTML pages for each pageful of contents. I find, from the user interface point of view, just scrolling down endlessly using JavaScript absolutely horrible to use. Whenever I enlarge a picture, going back to the actual page feed forces my browser to reload the entire feed, which takes a very long time. I'd much prefer to physically go to different HTML pages for each pageful, causing my browser to only have to reload that particular page. Is there any way I could force Tumblr to do that?

~~I don't think so. I guess you could scrape the entire site and reformat it, but I doubt that will be worth your time.~~ They seem to think the use case is viewing a given tumble once every few days, and not having to scroll back too much. To avoid the problem you describe, I just open images in new tab. (If your input method and browser don't make that easy, you should try another ;) SemanticMantis (talk) 19:46, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NoScript works in at least some cases. I just tried this tumblr [3], and confirmed that it normally behaves how you describe. But, if I use NoScript to disable javascript from tumblr.com, then the site/browser seem to fall back to a paginated view. This may not work with all tumblr pages.

Font with code point built in.[edit]

Hi. Anyone know if there exists a font, where each glyph includes the codepoint built into the image? For example, the letter 'e' looks like an e but with a '65' in ruby characters up on top. Or do I have to make this if I want to have it? Thanks Duomillia (talk) 19:16, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Unicode BMP Fallback font has the hexadecimal values but not the actual glyphs. I don't know of a font that has both. -- BenRG (talk) 01:26, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Font - Microsoft surface[edit]

What is the font On the surface on the screen pad for handwriting? Where the on screen keyboard is which can be changed to accept handwriting. --178.208.200.74 (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to be based on how big you write. You can customize it by the instructions given in the link. KonveyorBelt 03:08, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest adding content to related topics under See also or References[edit]

Suggest these topics be associated with 'authentication services'. • RADIUS • TACACS+ • Kerberos • LDAP • XTACACS • SAML • Secure LDAP

A few of these are associated; suggest aligning to show association with authentication services. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.0.108.8 (talk) 23:18, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is really the wrong place to suggest this. We're here to answer questions, not go off and edit articles for you. I suggest that you take this to the "Talk" page associated with the article you're talking about - or, better still, edit it yourself. That's what Wikipedia is all about - it's the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. SteveBaker (talk) 00:55, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
