Hi,
I have open Office! How do you do it in MsWord?

This is what I do and you can try it easy and free.
Goto Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange[^]
Click any question
Go to bottom where you can answer question (your not going to save so it is OK)
Click the 7th icon in the "toolbar" of the answer question area. It's a pencil with a resistor looking thing.
Its schematic editor and it is absolutely easy to use. Add your electrical components and they connect very easily.
Works so great and you can even get a subscription to the tool.
Try it and let me know.
I guess that built-in editor is Online circuit simulator & schematic editor - CircuitLab[^]
I was amazed at how intuitive & easy it is to use.

Wow: that takes me back to boyhood experiments in DIY electronics' projects, etching my own PCB boards, building HeathKits, etc.

 Thanks very much. That means a lot to me coming from someone with so much experience.
That schematic tool is really very cool. To me, it is the way software should be -- easy to use and guides you toward more professional use.

That's pretty cool!
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Dia[^] is a fairly simple diagram editor. You may need to install some additional shapes[^] for electrical diagrams.
|
|
|
|
|
Clickety[^]. I have used both FREE apps InkScape & Dia little bit (but not for electrical diagrams)
|
|
|
|
|
Try Dia[^] it includes electrical and electronic shapes.
Don't let your mind wander too far.
It's too small to be let out alone.

wasn't much going on here, I went in for a routine colonoscopy.Thankfully the anesthesia worked this time, last time I woke up just as things were getting started, so I felt everything and also got to watch it on the big screen. I don't recommend doing it that way!

Walt
Then came home and found out my entire PhD committee will probably have to be replaced!
Hope I don't have to start everything all over again!i WONDER IF THAT WOULD BE WORSE THAN A COLONOSCOPY?

 Personally, I'd rather just die.

Well, not catching colon cancer early will suck worse. But, having had two of these dastardly procedures, it's the prep that is the worst part.
What's worse? Well, I just had a tooth pulled, just local, and I made the mistake of opening my eyes as the dentist went in with the pliers. Didn't hurt, but all of the horror movies and cartoons of teeth being pulled flashed through my head.

There's an easy solution to that. Just do what I did and have your colon removed. If you can get colon cancer without a colon then you should also play the lottery.

Many years ago, when I got neutered, the valium was great! But seeing smoke coming up during the procedure... not so good; the valium helped at the time, but the valium wore off and then I realized what I had seen and why.

Hmm I found it disturbing watching a doctor waving a scalpel around that region, however I felt reasonably secure, the important bits had gone into hiding in fright.

It was all hidden by a sheet; the smoke rose above the sheet.

You've been here over three years, and you still haven't noticed the big red text at the top of this page? 
And you haven't even had the decency to ask an interesting programming question in the "no programming questions here please" forum. Instead, you've gone with something that you could have easily solved yourself after two minutes in your favourite search engine.

He has not asked a question. Just stating what you want to do is also not allowed?

Stating what you want to do seems to count as a "question" for a lot of people in QA.
