OK, I defer. I was not aware of anything 1-2-3 could
do that Excel
could not, but hey, apparently there is. I was wrong. Sorry.
We just HAD TO call you on your use of the word "everything".
Excel certainly has hundreds of "features" that I'll never use, and might
never even become aware of.
I assigned creating a partial implementation of form 1040EZ when I was
[involuntarily] assigned to teach a [REMEDIAL] Intro to computers class
using Microsoft Office. I did not do a good job of it - a lot of the
students cheated! and retyped a long paragraph just to avoid learning
"cut and paste"!
I LIKE Excel, but the depth of my knowledge of it leaves quite a bit to be
desired.
