+# Questions
+
+
+## Do you have occasions to use Emacs for multilingual text composition? How do you deal with spell-checking etc?
+
+
+### Wrote in English with spell-check but wasn't able to find anything for the local script
+
+
+### ^ thank you. I find using multiple languages in one document is a hard problem, not made easier in Emacs
+
+
+## Is it possible to align the columns in headings and subheading?
+
+
+### Thanks for the beautiful demo.
+
+
+## Maybe there should be an emacs-for-writing mailing list and online Writers Workshop (?)
+
+
+### This is a good idea, perhaps an online Writers Workshop indeed makes a lot of sense.
+
+
+### Has conducted online WW in India, used Notion (Emacs Org Mode was scary for other attendees)
+
+
+## How do you share drafts of your novel? If you use pandoc to export to word (etc), how do you incorporate feedback on the document back into org? (Thank you for the talk)
+
+
+### Exported to Word (via pandoc). There were some inconvenient parts for the editor, and Ramadurai copied and pasted the feedback/changes from Word into Emacs.
+
+
+### For collaborators: paste it into Google Docs. See the question below.
+
+
+### Not an answer by the speaker, but here's the workflow of Mickey Petersen: <https://masteringemacs.org/article/how-to-write-a-book-in-emacs> (Mastering Emacs)
+
+
+### From my bookmarks: <https://www.wisdomandwonder.com/link/9922/how-to-reintegrate-changes-for-word-back-into-org-mode>
+
+
+## Can you show exported pdf of any of your novel?
+
+
+### Will make a "demo" and have a link somewhere accessible to the community (probably on talk page at <https://emacsconf.org/2020/schedule/03/> )
+
+
+## How do you collaborate with others while writing your Novel ? Like sharing your file and getting feedbacks.
+
+
+### working on ebook sustainability, long org mode file, pasted into google docs so collaborator and editor can see it
+
+
+### like to see python
+
+
+### paste to google docs
+
+
+## Can you text-wrap in the columns?
+
+
+### Community: possibly ftable.el
+
+
+### you specify column mode in org mode in prsentation
+
