Access to the docs is now open to anyone with the link.

Thank you, Gail!

Ah seems to be view-only mode so I can't yet add in my own chart. No rush though. Just sayin in case you didn't realize.

It's "view" only for me, Gail.

Sorry everybody!! Try it again. I missed an important little arrow in the setup. Everyone with the link is set up as an editor.

I can't make any changes, but it might be me and my old phone. I've never done the bingo before so I'm still trying to figure it out but I'm excited to give it a try!

It works for me now :) but I only use my laptop when actually working on/editing google docs

Hannah, I only use a laptop for these types of files. My phone is so small it's only good for phone and maybe reading emails.

I use my phone (set to Desktop) for most group activities, but haven't figured out how to access and edit Google docs on it, because it's impossible (for me) to arrow over to the right card and then make changes. It's not a you or your phone thing if you can't make it work. It may be just one of those few things you actually need the larger screen of a tablet or laptop to use and update.

I need Misty to set hers up along with the applicable colors and meanings because I always copied hers and don't remember which are read, in-progress, thinking about : )

But I'm in!

LOL! Done!

@Gail, could you look at my BINGO card? My Excel skills are decidedly remedial and I have no idea how to fix the fact that my book titles are crossing into other squares instead of wrapping around and staying within the applicable space. Can you fix or advise me?

@Carol, I can definitely fix it once my laptop shows up. But in the meantime try this, there is an icon in the toolbar that has a bar on the left hand side and then what looks to be a u-turn arrow. That will wrap the text for you. Then there is another icon with an arrow pointing up and another pointing down. That will center the text vertically.

Carol I took the liberty as Gail is out of action! I've changed the settings for all of your squares so that they will all automatically wrap and center for you

you are a goddess. I was just getting back to this and chatgpt has me exhausted creating and then fixing for accuracy so many customized (for one opening) resumes. YUCK.

thank you!

I feel your pain Carol, job applications can be soul destroying. Glad I can help in any tiny way! Goddess! 🤣

Oh my gosh - and things have changed so much! I used to HELP people with their resumes, so I was very well versed in it. We even studied how to create a good CV when I was in college. When my husband was updating his during his job search last year, I couldn't even help him because the guidelines had changed so much. I am not going anywhere any time soon (knock on wood and fingers crossed), but I am very much underemployed and will be looking for another job in two years, so I am already starting to think about what I will do for my CV. Luckily, my field hasn't advanced in that area as much as other professions! I feel for you.
