ANY ADVICE - Saving your 25 wol
Does anyone save their 25 wol to reuse for other comps?
Would appreciate any help as what I am doing at the mo is not too good. I'm using Excel and all the comps I enter using 25 wol I place in tabs ie
travel, mothers day etc etc. Other info like close date, what the comp is etc go next to the 25 wol.
It is getting somewhat messy now, so any help or advice would be appreciated
Someone posted an excel spreadsheet "Prize Winning Spreadsheet" that I use now and couldn't live without. It just needs to be filled up a bit more
with my winnings!! |

Wow!!!! I just save mine in a word document and I have to sift thru them to find any that may match....have about 54 pages of them..... never thought
of putting them into files or groups............that would be too organised.
I usually reuse or rephrase them to match the comp..... have won a few things on 25wol but usually on the ones I think aren't that good.... my
"brilliant" ones don't seem to win. Sigh!!!!

I save mine in an Excel spreadsheet. I have one spreadsheet and just have worksheets (tabs) within that spreadsheet.
I have a worksheet for 25wol entered. My other worksheets are for prizes won - that includes various entry methods. When a 25wol comp wins, I cut and
paste that row out of the Entered worksheet and into the Prizes Won 2008 worksheet. (yes I have worksheets by year and then I have a tab totalling
all those tabs called Prizes Total).
Has anyone got a link to the spreadsheet mentioned above? I'd be curious to see if it's similar to mine.
thanks

I just write mine in an exercise book (Tudor Comp) with comp entered & prize +date drawn , have also been finding some old 1's on scraps of paper
which I'm adding to the exercise book .Would not know how to use a spreadsheet but really would like to , was hoping the Computer Course with the
laptop would include all that type of thing .

Why don't you save them in Word instead gypsy? - so much easier to find and copy & paste for editing etc. |

This is a good idea. I don't keep track of my entries, then wonder what I could possibly have written when they tell me I've won. |

If my wol were worth saving, I would.
But until then, I won't waste my time.  |

I am a disorganised person. I save mine in one big word document, that I sift through to find previous entries. So far this has worked for me (only
been comping for a year though, and probably not as committed as many compers!). I resuse, or use modified versions of, entries often (One 25WOL
composition has won four different comps!!!). Very interesting to hear about others' techniques! |

LOL Dink, I'm with you
My 25wol are for the moment I enter a particular comp so they generally suck |

I have some in word, and some in exercise books. The books are great because you can write WINNER in highlighter across the top! It sure makes me feel
good.
Although to be honest I don't usually keep 25wol for web comps unless I think I can use it again. I generally draught in the ef and click...its gone.
Like others have said, its the ones I don't think about that win, the slaved over entries, carefully saved rarely if ever win!

25 wol
hey I'm usually an organised person, but you guys save just about everything! I've only been comping for 2 weeks and enterred heaps of 25wol, not
kept one...lol. Please tell me..if I win, dont they repeat the notes? that would be embarrassing to find out that i'd won and couldn't remember the
caption  |

because I usually have Outlook Express open at the same time as I enter web comps, sometimes if I want to keep an entry (not often), I pretend I'm
creating a message and I Copy/Paste the entry into the message field, and then go to File, Save As (name the comp entry), to My Documents |

I've started a database with Microsoft Access, and have created fields like :
date entered, compeition, prize, 25 wol answer, question, keywords (like car, cooking etc - makes it easy to seach for if I want to modify for another
comp), winner yes/no...
... think I have a couple of other fields as well |

I am also writing all mine in Personal notes. If I actually win any then I will paste the winning ones into excel.
No point keeping all the ones that dont win cos they obviously arent good enough

Top left of any thread/topic you view under the CompTracker marks look for the text 'Personal Notes' and click it.
A popup window will appear where you can type up WOL answers or keep receipt details, whatever.
Then next time you view that thread/topic, your Personal Notes will show where the Personal Notes link is.
You can view ALL your Personal Notes via the User Control Panel - top right of every forum page.
