Microsoft Word & EC codes
(OP)
Hy everyone!
I'm using Microsoft Word for writing my structural design calculations. I would love to have two-column paper, where I can write calculations on the left, and affilated codes on the right. The problem is when I write in table, my computer becomes laggy, suddenly eating alot of RAMs. So I was wondering is there another technique?

maybe an easier way is with a standard page, just to line feed at the 1/2, and then when you want, tab over to this spot, and write away ?

Referencing the equations as well as code sections is a very good habit. If you are preparing input for a computer program, it is helpful to indicate where that is in the input program. We also reference the output by using page numbers and the line numbers on the page. Not all FEM programs make this easy.

word is good for writing, but not so good for calculating.
Mathcad is a good compromise, you can lay out a calc like in a s/sheet and add text bit a few less features than word (but it should be enough to get a technical report done). Another compromise is to embed tables and/or s/sheets inside the word doc ... but this quickly becomes a huge space hog.
i'll often keep my calc in a s/sheet, and write the report in word, and add pix of the calcs.

You can make it look basically like your hand calc page would.

I guess I should of said, you can make it look like your hand calcs "should" look (or the ones you redo for submission)
