The method you mentioned Martin is the same for Office/04 like I have. I think it is a process she has forgotten. I find the same thing when I only use a particular feature once or twice a year. That's why I save a blank set of column and row names with their formulas as a template, so I don't have to "tax" my brain at tax time. --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
