Hi :) WOW!!! I wish i had thought of it. It's brilliant! :) Re: costs, my 'work' place (does it count as work if you enjoy it?) just bought several MSO 2010 licenses for about £15 each. The newer MS office comes out soon so there are all sorts of special offers, such as for charities, students, and other vulnerable people. We have a chap that is excellent at sniffing out such deals and being able to buy in bulk helps. Regards from Tom :)
