    On Mr Morris' soapbox issue, having recently upgraded the compatibility of my Excel '03 to that of the latest version, I report that it can be done for free, via the Microsoft update site.

    George has written to me off-list, indicating that the Excel solution of the Mercator Sailings were in a new Microsoft Excel 2007 format and he was unable to import it.

    In the interests of others who may wish to view this but only have the older version of Excel, I have attached that version.

    And here's my complaint about the GREED of Microsoft. I use both versions and the ONLY difference I can see is that the menu layout is more graphical.  The switch between the two versions of the menus offers little in the way of productivity or functional enhancement.  But because Microsoft did not make the 2007 files readable by Excel 2003 (and earlier), they are forcing corporations to "upgrade" ie: spend more money with Microsoft.  Okay, I am off my soapbox.

    Best Regards
