This is my first try at adding a photo or link, so bear with me :)
If anyone tries this, could they post a picture?
Thanks

Rough idea using the keyboard. Excel is much more clear.

:shock: :roll: :?: I'm only kidding. I just don't have the slightest clue what it's all about. I'll just stay safe in my own little "innocent" world.

I realize now for some that may look like some type of mathematical equation. I have recreated page 1. See attached Word document.
My suggest is not a criticism of your text. I have visual issues and need to have lines to help follow the text.
For those of you who are not familiar with Word, look at the document under File/Print/Preview to get the effect.
If you use Copy from Excel, open Word and use Paste Special into Word you can double click on the chart and you will be able to edit the chart with Excel functions. When you save your edits only the Word file will be updated.
Paste Link into Word will change both the Excel file and the Word file as you edit. But that's another lesson.
Let me know if this works for you.
P.S. I hate working with Word tables as Excel is so much quicker for me. :roll:

As the population ages there will be an increase in people with visual disabilities. I'm hoping publishing houses begin to realize this as the print is getting smaller and harder to read each year. I've given up reading pill bottles and look for the information online. ;)

I tried it in wordpad and just got jibberish(sp), so I appreciate the pdf.
