Hi Ed, I agree about the grocery list. and, since I'm a VBA programmer, I have an elaborately automated grocery list application, where the list is kept in a large table. probably way to much over-kill just so I could produce for my wife, a list in stor aisle order, with colored indications when it was time to proceed to the next aisle.

I probably over-stated it when I said columns in Word are not your friend. Some software vendors do their standard contracts in newspaper column formatted documents. Actually, in reviewing and editing those documents, columns are better than are tables. I have had documents where someone got the bright idea of putting paragraph numbers in column 1 and the text in the various cells of a two-column table. Automatic paragraph numbering is definitely better, using columns. Although I've never deliberately formatted a document using columns, I do concede that they have their place. For a grocery list, however, I'd still go with a table. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
