Here’s a place for me to paste Python scripts, Word macros, and other code that I find helpful in my teaching and research. No, I don’t know how to use GitHub.

Microsoft Word Macros

This Word Macro turns all linking verbs blue. I use it to help myself and my students spot opportunities to replace linking verbs with action verbs.

List the first sentence of each paragraph in a Microsoft Word document

This Microsoft Word macro, generated by Claude.ai, functions as a crude reverse-outlining tool. By looking at just the first sentences in a draft, I can often get a better sense of how well an argument or narrative flows.

Insert Reading Time Stamps

This Microsoft Word macro, created by Claude with prompts from me, asks the user how long they have to deliver a paper, then inserts time markers at 4-minute intervals that will keep the speaker on pace to complete the presentation in that time.

Python Scripts

PDF Expert Markdown format to tab-delimited text

This Python script converts annotation summaries from PDF Expert, formatted as Markdown, to tab-delimited text.
