"Fortunately" because I awoke just before 1 a.m., noticed the ":49" on my glowing digital alarm clock, turned the alarm [which I had set for 7 a.m.] off, and went to take a shower. In the course of that, I made enough noise to wake
cattitude and had to reassure him that no, there was nothing wrong. And then it took quite a while to fall back asleep post-shower. Six hours sleep is not enough, nor ideal for either work or a training class, but between my general ability to pick up software quickly, and the introductory level of the class, it wasn't a problem.
I think I've learned some useful things about InCopy, and one that interests me but that they simply said "you won't be using that": the "find/replace" has three settings, an ordinary one, a "glyphs" one (so I can search for ampersands or square root signs or such), and one labeled "GREP." It didn't do what I expected, but I like the idea of a regular expression search in layout/editing software.
I also have notes on a few annoyances. For example, in almost every case, if you try to edit a piece of a document but haven't checked it out, you get a message asking if you want to. If you try to edit a table without checking it out, it fails silently.
The class ended at 4:30, and I then went up to the gym, and had a good workout. (Getting there at 5 is much more relaxed than at 6.)
