The only thing I did differently with this working version was to not 
use the "indenting" of the text using the ":" symbol.  Yes, I use the 
"Heading Levels" for the groupings titles.  That way each group of 
information will be itsown section.  I have decided that I will be doing 
most of my editing in Writer for spelling and grammar issues.  I wish 
there was a spell checking options, like I saw ONCE in a Wiki editing 
page.  They may be too hard to implement so no other Wiki page offers it 
as an an option.
