I just highlight the complete column before I start and away I go. It will only be one column of 5 or 6 (at the moment) but there will be 1000's of entries of which I would guess only 2% will lead with a 0, but they HAVE to be sortable with the rest of the columns when I do change column priority :-) There will be no mathematical calculations Many thanks everyone Mike -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |

I wish to put numbers in a cell which commence with a '0'. For example 067 but when I go to the next cell, the number reverts to just 67. I can get over it by putting an 'O' (capital o), but this then does not Data Sort properly. Can anyone help please? Mike select the range of cells that you want to display numbers in this format. Use the commands: format, cells..., Number, Custom type 000 into the "Type" text box. This will display as 067, and you will still be able to do calculations on the number. If you enter it as "text" by typing single quote 67 ( '67 ) you will no longer be able to do calculations with it. |

Calculations will not be required as they are reference numbers relating to columns 1, 3, 4, 5 and possibly a couple more which MUST all stick together when sorted into different listings according to different columns. For example numerical with col 2 as one table, but a complete sort with col 3 which is alphabetical and then again as col 4 which will be alphabetical. The complete listings in their 'sort', must take all references with them ready for printing. Hope that makes sense. Massive book :-(( Mike -- The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association.

Massive book :-((
Mike Make sure you take regular backups of your files to CD, memory stick or other media and preferably ask someone else (a family member) to keep the copies at their house. The lost count of the number of times over the years I've heard the sad tale of people writing a book or PhD thesis on a computer only for the hard drive to fail or computer get nicked - and no backup copies! The reason for keeping backups "off-site" is in case of a fire. People commonly keep backup disks in a draw next to their computer which of course become useless too. If you are concerned about third parties looking at your backups then simply password protect them, or use WinZip with encryption and a password. A question I'm commonly asked is "How often should I do a backup of my work" - I always give the same reply "How much work are you prepared to lose and have to re-do?" David. |

I do do that, not often enough I must say, but I did do a massive back up a few days ago. The majority I have on computer is data and a few 'epistles'. Most of the work I do is passing information on to others. I am a sort of 'base' and that is why I have been asked to give lectures and give talks of 'Special Interest'. A lap top linked to the latest type of projector is a god send now. Two pieces of equipment and no books/lecture notes :-)) THAT is why back up is so important :-)) Thanks again Mike -- The Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association.
