Lionel,
Very true indeed.
If you want the real properly colommed results, then Excel is the quickest & best.
You can however, eg later on, inter-act between Excel and Word, as Word has this
colom separating ability too.
Also, I have a HTML-hypertext printer driver installed, wich is set-up as a standard
"Print to File"-printer(much like the installable Asci-Text-printer driver available on
the Win95-Cd-rom). HTML-files can also be correctly openend by both Word+Excel.
Printing to HTML is as easy as printing to text, and can be opened by any browser too.
