Mark,

Your spreadsheet is in an unrecognizable format for my computer. Can you post it in Microsoft Excel?

Thanks,

Hi All,

Fortunately, the program Mark is using can export to a number of other brands/formats. However, like most other conversions, one loses some features/conveniences in the process. Nevertheless, Open Office - which has pretty much the same capabilities as MickeySoft Office - is a free download. I realize that some of us are reading the list from work computers, and may not be allowed to load new software, but otherwise, go to:
openoffice.org
and check it out. I hardly ever use .doc, .xls, etc. any more.

BTW, Open Office was originally a freeware project of Sun Computer - and Sun, IIRC, was bought by Oracle. A lot of us were concerned that Oracle would either do like they did to RDB and kill it, or make new versions a profit center. It looks like they've taken what might be considered the "high road" (for the first time in their existence) and donated it to the Apache development group, as an "open source" project.
