(It was not that the men would ask for directions: they wouldn't
follow the directions they were given. There is no evidence that their
wives were willing to follow the given directions either. So it is six
of one and half a dozen of the other.)
Now to answer your question. I suggest you create a table. In fact,
you might want to consider using a spreadsheet (Calc) instead of a text
file (Writer) especially if you want a listing for each month. In fact,
I would recommend it. (You could then use one sheet for each year. The
top row beginning with column B should contain your headings (Months,
and Yearly) The left column beginning with row 2 should contain the
names of your expenses.
I am now going to make some assumptions. You have 14 columns: A - N
(one for the expense names, one for each month, and one for yearly.)
You have 21 rows:1 - 21 (the top one for monthly and annual headings,
and 20 different types of expenses). This would mean that you want to
enter information beginning with B2 and ending with N21. If you click
within cell B2 and drag it to Cell N21, you will highlight a box of
cells. Use the key combination: Ctrl +R. (That is, hold down the Ctrl
key while hitting the R key.) This will cause all the information you
enter to be aligned to the right.
As far as you receiving emails that do not pertain to your
particular question, that is the nature of a mailing list. Everyone
subscribed to the list receives all the emails sent to the list. You
can pick to keep anything that interests you and delete the rest. Some
of these emails may well ask and then answer some of the question you
may have in the future.
