Excel's version of COUNTIF supports wildcards * and ? in the criteria, but 
Calc doesn't. 

These wildcards have been in use since CP/M (before Microsoft!) and I can't 
see any reason for Open Office not to use them.

I use the criteria "??*" to count both "Op" and "Ins" because my instructors 
are also operators and I want a total of everyone who can operate.  I just 
want to count all the 2 and 3 letter words.  I don't want to use regular 
expressions.
