I am a bit new to this list, so apologies if I have the wrong end of the stick. 1.1.2007 Using a tablet PC has given my academic writing a new lease of life The British Journal of Educational Technology I have just been trying to get my I pad to recognise the reference but the above is all I can seem to make it copy. If anyone wants to read my paper I can send it to them.
