I searched the web to find meanings to different abbreviations. This is what I came up with! I did this to understand what people were talking about.

I got them off various websites, so if there is something that offends someone, let me know and I will delete it.

OMG!! That is some list!

I can't open it!

I'll try and redo it. Do you have excel as that is what it is in. I will have to do it later though.

Great info thanks.

Yeah, thanks. I have been able to figure out most of the abreviations, but this really helps.

can't open it

Opened great!! I am going to print it off to reference easily on some of the other boards I am on.l
Thank you for taking the time to do this.

wow, I just got it to open up and saved it (also I hit control P and printed it off for my quilting book)

Thanks again for all of your hard work!

wow - thanks I really needed that, not just for here but in everyday life as well. Or is that NJFHBIELAW.

Wow that is some list.

I can't open it.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi

You need a program like Microsoft Excell. I can put it in a note pad file for you if you wish. I had a difficult time until I transferred it to a Word Perfect Spread sheet.

Let me Know!

I tried to open it in an Excel program but got gobbledegoop... Is it possible to put it in a Word Program? Sure would like to see it. Thanks

Yes I can, I can probably even attach it here, just give me a minute or 5! LOL

Tree Frog

Hope this is helpful to everyone!

WOW you are fast and efficient Thanks again for the info. and all the choices you gave us to open it. Been wondering about a lot of those for a long while.

It was only because I figured if I had that much of a difficult time, then why not help everyone else!

Hope this is useful to all quilters!

:( Well this old dinosaur does not have those microsoft programs, so I guess I'll guess. I had it before my computer went kAput a few weeks back, forgot to put it on a CD. Most I am learning but I still guess at those acronyms.

Thanks for trying.

Blessings,
Ruth

Wow,we need somewhere on the board where these are posted so we can refer to them.

These acronyms remind me of the government and all the initials they use.

Ruth

Do you have wordperfect?

TreeFrog

Hello

That would be up to the moderators, the list is about 4 pages long printed, so that would take a ton of space on their server

TreeFrog

Yup, I would have to agree with you! My husband works for the gov't and my son is in the reserves, so one works for DVA and the other one is a RECCE for the DND! I on the other hand is a MOM! Lol

Thank you, I really need this! Thanks for taking the time to do this.

From the extension on the file name of the download it looks like it was made in Excel but a newer version. If the originator would save it as a older version of Excel then more people can open it. I had the same problem with a co-worker of mine. I have Excel 2000! It's hard to imagine it's 10 years old. Works for what I need to do.

No M'am I don't. I have Adobe. I think that is the 'read' program. TY

I have sent you a private message with the list of acronyms as well as how to copy them to your very own computer! If you have any problems send me a private message and I will help you again and again until this is resolved! LOL I will not leave you hanging!

TreeFrog

My pleasure

TreeFrog

Hello

On Page 1 (one) I had posted the acronyms in a few different formats for you to download.

Other options are:

I can send you a PM with the list with instructions on how to get them on your own computer.
You private message (PM) me with asking me to email it to your home address!

I hope that this is helpful to everyone out there!

Great,:thumbup: however this seems to be a minimal:( list compared to what is on the list compiled by this board! I can PM you with the entire list if you would like? :?:

Joan
I don't have all the acronyms remembered, I still have to look them up! :oops: As there are 9 pages worth with 340 plus acronyms! Some will come with ease, while some you will have to look up over and over! :!: However that is the FUN in it!

TreeFrog
