I find it easier to use Excel.  I already have a worksheet open to do
analysis of performance reports, and it is easy to keep the system rules in
different Excel sheets: all accessible by the handy sheet buttons on the
bottom.  Editing, obviously, is not as sophisticated as in Word, but
organization by cells is a little easier.

Not to vent by repeating myself.......BUT... it really is stupid of Equis to
make this so difficult when it should be a simple problem to fix.  There - I
feel a little better now.
