(You will need to download the Character Dictionary. The download for this is in the first entry on this page.)

October 6, 2009 at 12:48 PMMy Mandarin teacher says that biān can mean 'edge' or 'side'. So if something is on a table, but teetering on the edge, you could say zhuōzi shàngbiān, but if it is safely in the middle of the table you would say zhuōzi shàngmian.
Its probably why pángbiān is used for something which is next to you (at your side), but duìmian is used for something opposite you (you are facing it).

I have Office 2007, and it doesn't seem to be the same as you described. I found 'Layout' separately from the Format option (its not in Format). The 'Square' style has no other options. When I select 'Square', the alignment is how I want it, but the picture no longer alters the line height. So I have to press Enter a number of times to get the right spacing.
Any suggestions?
I could do this so this easily in WordPerfect, but the PDF production there is ordinary.

October 6, 2009 at 5:59 AMI have almost finished my stroke-order doc. But can someone give me some help with Word. When I paste diagrams into a line of text, the surrounding text lines up with the BOTTOM of the diagram. I can't figure out how to line-up this text with the TOP of the diagram. Any suggestions?

I have learned some German, and the same thing is happening to me, but in reverse. All those German-carrying synapses in my brain are slowly being overwritten.

I agree with buchelit & juangoren. The CD Quality download does not work. I have tried twice (a few hours apart), and each time I downloaded a file of only 231 bytes.
Posted on: Musical Instruments
October 7, 2009 at 5:55 AMA couple of questions.
1. The lesson heading is 'Musical Instruments'. How do we say that generic term? (Could I suggest that in every lesson, the lesson name should be translated).
2. We have learned how to 'play' various instruments, but what word do you use to describe an orchestra playing? I'm going to see the London Philharmonic play tonight at the Sydney Opera House, and tomorrow I want to be able to say
乐团 ?? 得非常好 (yuètuán ?? de fēicháng hǎo)
