Microsoft Office incompatibility, shoutout for Zotero

I've been having more problems in Word 2007. Formulas only save as images when you need to save in a style that allows for easy collaboration. For anything technical this incompatibility is a huge problem. Also, I noticed that it would not allow for a direct copy-and-paste from the Gimp. I had to copy it to Paint, and then to Word 2007. I am calling this what it is - incompatibility with common programs. People who talk about Microsoft Compatibility should realize that Microsoft is not compatible with itself.

On other notes, Zotero was given a shoutout by the flagship journal of the SPIE - Optical Engineering. Editor Donald O'Shea talks about Zotero and a mac program, Papers, in an open access article entitled Organizing Your Information. I've linked the HTML, though you can also get the PDF from the page. I'm still struggling with working the way Zotero does, and still prefer the JabRef method of thinking. But, perhaps it is just because I know JabRef better than I know Zotero. Still, I will always appreciate how Zotero allowed me to easily format all my references.

One final software shoutout. If you need real image processing or technical image analysis, try ImageJ. It was helpful to me earlier in my graduate student career, and has also come in very handy recently. The ease of macro scripting makes going through a number of images relatively painless.
