Thanks for the tips... I have Office 2011 at home, but I guess this forum logs the version that I have here at work... so I am familiar with the VB functionality.

I agree that Excel is a familiar platform for most users... even English teachers I'm just really struggling with formatting issues at this point.

I can distribute what I have now, but I think I'm still going to explore other stand alone options...if they exist.

Thanks again!
