Unless things have changed a lot since I did research, the data in the spreadsheet was not typed by the researcher. It was probably typed by an undergraduate work-study student or, at best, a harried departmental secretary.Brian, love the umbrella metaphor. -bill
Which illustrates one of the ongoing characteristics of office suites. They offer many so different methods of accomplishing a task that a user just wanting to get work done has to first invest what seems to be an unreasonable effort into learning how to most effectively use his/her tool. And, heaven forbid if the gene researcher and department secretary mix and match their respective methods into the same document/spreadsheet.
I can understand why a gene researcher, or a department secretary for a gene researcher, might prefer to focus their energy on gene research rather than office suite research.
