    jacquie, it's really not as bad as you think it will be, this list took me about an hour to do. I use open office (which is free so very MSE :D) then I copy in the top bit of text about not bumping threads and who's doing what then put in the titles for each group of comps.

    to get the links I use the hyperlick in the document, just go to the line you want the text to appear on and click the pic of the world with the chain. in the box called target put in the address of the comp (the http:// bit) then type what the comp is for in the box called text and click apply. then close and you have a link. do the same for all the comps for the day you're doing ( I tend to change the way I see them so they're in date order and go through from page 1 to the end picking them out)

    Then all you have to do is copy the whole thing and paste it in a new thread here once you're happy with it and it's late enough to not annoy anyone for putting it up too early :p(you can remove the underlines and colour them like I do really easily if you want to) and thats about it really

    hope this helps and doesn't make it even worse for you :)

    That info is extemely helpful Munchkim, I sort the comps the way you do it. However, I always prepare my comps ending post in a Wordpad document (after doing the first one in a Word document and getting symbols all over the place!!) I don't know if I am missing something but I can't see the hyperlink symbol (the world thing) in Wordpad and I have only ever managed to do the lists with "clickys" once and I think that was sheer luck! Don't quite remember how I did it :confused: Also if it all comes out underlined is it simply a case of highlighting it all and taking underline off as normal??
