Ann and Steve, Thanks for your patience with me. I'm older than either one of you so maybe I get to say one more thing. I think life is too short to do something by hand if you can automate it. Luckily I'm a programmer so I can usually write my own program if I can't find a tool to do what I want. However, if I weren't a programmer but were spending a lot of time doing tedious or repetitive tasks, I'd try my darndest to find better tools. If I couldn't find any existing tools, I'd find a programmer to write a custom program for me. Computer science students and their professors are always looking for interesting class projects. If you aren't near a college or university with a computer science department, try your local high school.
