I've run into an Excel question, and while investigating it discovered I need a cross platform answer. I used the "List Wizard" to create a table of bugs, interface nits, and enhancement requests for a web application where I'm the prime guinea pig (it's a web-based electronic medical record for a hemodialysis company).
I've discovered two disappointments: First, the list wizard can't accommodate multiline cells that grow into the bottom of a page margin (you'd think the wizard would be smart enough to change page break locations to deal with this, but it doesn't; it just hides the data in the last row on a page with a single line of ####### characters, and once it's done so, those cells remain obscured no matter how their sorted or where they appear on the page after subsequent edits/additions/deletions to the list database). Second, the list wizard is Mac only; there's a list manager for current Windows Excel, but the two are incompatible according to the "Compatibility Tester," which conveniently grays out the "fix this" choice as it tells me this. (I guess the Wizard is like the wizard of Oz, who told Dorothy he wasn't a terribly bad person, just a terribly bad wizard.) In any event, I need pointers from someone who knows both Mac and Windows Excel who can tell me how to create this table with page headers that display on each page, flexible page breaks for the data rows, and multi-user capability so that edits can be made by me and the developers and we know who's done what. Can someone tell me where to go for a few pointers?
