JP Excel is easier to sort One of the things I produced was a list in date order of everybody I didn't have an obit for So when I was looking for a person's obit I might find others on the same roll of microfiche Yes I do sums Over the years I have developed several macros to make the job easier Also developed macros for Word to format & produce index of the register report Whole point it's a lot easier carrying a flash drive to the library than my books Jim Sent from my iPad > On Mar 31, 2015, at 6:57 PM, J.
